There's still time to subscribe & receive the Sept/Oct issue of Louisiana Kitchen & Culture. The mailing list will be generated early next week, so you can still start your subscription: act now. We have some great content for you: award-winning chef John Besh is releasing Cooking From the Heart, his third cookbook, at the end of October. We got a sneak peek of the galleys and include a few new, never-before-published Besh recipes for you in the issue. You'll also get an insider's guide to the phenomenon of tailgating on the LSU campus, and Emeril's Delmonico chef Anthony Scanio shares some favorite recipes; heads up to my friends, you're getting a home made digestif at the holidays and it's coming in a really cool bottle. Our friends Terry Trahan and Melissa Holman (editors of Point of Vue, LA Fit Life, and The Weekly) provide local insight to the Houma/Thibodaux area. Plus you will get more than 50 recipes, most with professional photos to show you what the real dish looks like. If you've simply been procrastinating, you can order a one- or two-year subscription here, or go whole hog and get the entire series by ordering the Collector's Bundle Plus. If you're not sure, then start with a trial subscription a 3-issue subscription is just ten dollars. Order via our website, or call us at 504-208-9959. Subscriptions (and advertising) help keep this newsletter free to you. Join the many others and support Louisiana Kitchen & Culture. This week's recipes remind me of my mom and dad. He was an avid freshwater fisherman, and several Saturdays each summer we'd pack a picknic lunch and go fishing. When we kids got tired of it, he'd park us with our mom on a shady sand bar to swim and lounge. We'd head back home mid-afternoon, clean the fish, and fry up some for a summer feast, complete with fresh tomatoes, cucumbers, and other vegetables from his garden. What I would give to have one more family fishing trip... And finally, we've given our website a little facelift. You'll find more than 1,000 recipes there, most of which do not appear in the magazine. Each recipe has built in social media tags, allowing you to easily repost to Facebook, Twitter, and Pinterest. Browse through and let us know what you think. Enjoy the recipes, share them with family and friends, and, as always, let me know what's on your mind.
Susan Ford, President PS: Harrah's New Orleans has two big openings coming up: Acme Oyster House, and the Hoodoo Cocktail Lounge. We got a preview last night; doors open to the public on August 23.

Fried Catfish FingersFrom the Tabasco Brand Cookbook, these catfish fingers are marinated in a mustard/Tabasco/eggwhite mixture before they're breaded and fried off to perfection. Make the hushpuppies below, and you'll have a meal fit for royalty. |

Southern HushpuppiesIt is said that hush puppies were first produced at outdoor fish fries using the leftover cornmeal coating; the fritters were fed to the hungry, howling yard dogs with an admonition to "hush, puppy!". There are as many different various versions as there are southern cooks; this one is excerpted from James Beard award-winning cookbook Mastering the Art of Southern Cooking. |

Shrimp and Okra GumboShrimp and okra are in full season right now, so this recipe from our friend Jeff Young at The Catholic Foodie is timely as well as tasty. As Jeff notes, a true seafood gumbo is expensive to make, and for those of us on a budget, is saved for a special occasion. Right now, however, farmers markets are overrun with okra and shrimp are coming in. |
