  1. So I will be getting the King cakes magazine? I love getting the magazines. And make some of the food out of it. And the ones I really like . I repeat them. I let family and friends look at my book . And I will make a copy of the ones they want. And if I have just a few recipes . I will copy them and then I share my books because. They can’t afford it.

  2. Hi there, tried to leave a review for the Gumbo Nachos, but the server wouldn’t respond. Wanted to let you know that I served these for a holiday appetizer and cocktail tasting yesterday (paired with Emiril’s Red Rooster Cocktail) and they were the hit of the afternoon. Here’s what I did a bit differently: used andouille sausage and cut into small dice; used frozen, cooked “salad” shrimp, which are smaller and I thought they would give a better presentation/taste by distributing the flavors over the chips better. Just thaw and drain the shrimp, toss with some EVOO and creole seasoning and do not cook before putting on top of the sausage and vegetable mixture. Proceed with the recipe as directed. The creole-seasoned sour cream was a great finish! Thanks for a great recipe!
