Congratulations to the DeFelice family, fourth-generation owners of the beloved Pascal's Manale restaurant. The Louisiana Restaurant Association bestowed the Greater New Orleans LRA Lifetime Achievement Award upon them earlier this week. “The story of the DeFelice family is one that exemplifies the true entrepreneurial spirit that exists in the restaurant industry,” said Stan Harris, LRA President & CEO. “The rich history and traditions found at Pascal’s Manale have contributed to the authenticity and notoriety of New Orleans and our great state." Speaking of New Orleans and restaurants, I know a fantastic, award-winning Executive Chef who would love to get back to New Orleans after 18 months spent opening restaurants in other parts of the world. If anyone is hiring, email me and I'll happily foward his resumé and guarantee you at least one regular diner. With another cold snap under way over most of the country, I selected warming recipes this week. My mom liked to make tomato gravy when it was cold out, reader Debbie Guidry shares her Smothered Cajun 7 Steak recipe, and I've included Tommy Centola's Broccoli and Cheese Soupl Enjoy this week's recipes, share them with family and friends, and, as always, let me know what's on your mind.

Old Fashioned Buttermilk Biscuits and Tomato Gravy This is how my mother and grandmother made biscuits- no rolling and cutting involved. They both canned a LOT of tomatoes each summer, so tomato gravy made a regular appearance at suppertime on crisp winter nights. Get the biscuits in the oven and make the gravy while they bake - dinner in no time. |

Smothered Cajun Seven Steaks Smothering is a way to render even the toughest cut of meat fork-tender, and, in my mind, the tougher cuts are the tastiest. If you can't find a seven steak, look for a blade or round steak. This recipe is from Louisiana Kitchen & Culture reader Debbie Guidry, and was featured in the Sept/Oct 2012 edition of the magazine. |

Broccoli and Cheese Soup This recipe is excerpted from Louisiana Kitchen & Culture reader Tommy Centola's cookbook You Can't Keep New Orleans Out of the Chef. I happen to think it's great any time of the year, but love it particularly when it's chilly outside. |
