- Just a displaced Fla cracker that's looking for those recipes that not everyone has ever heard about. Cracklin's or salt pork isn't too familiar in hockey country. Can't find yellow rice dinners either. Keep up the good work!

- I just found this site a couple of days ago and must say it is incredible. Just really started cooking about 2 years now and can't stop cooking. My Grandmother worked for Jack Miller back in the 50's and 60's. I remember going to visit her at work sometimes and standing on the large pots they cooked everthing in and help stir the ingredients. Man that almost brings a tear to my eye. Any ways, for all of us that are no longer back in La., this site absolutely is the best link ever. Tahnk you MaMa Ruby, Chrissy and Brandon. Much Love to you all for your efforts.
- Winston Soileau, Originally Ville Platte-now Elmsford, NY
- I am originally from Abbeville and when I saw your website I had to check it out. I saw the Jack miller's hamburgers and I remember going to the May festival and having those burgers! The best. I come home and bring back evangeline bread and jack millers along with all the other good stuff. Thanks for the recipe!

- Used to live in AL (went to school there) & came over to LA ~ 1 weekend/month. That was 25 years ago. Came across this site on KBON website, and that was a good thing- they were killing me with all of the ads for restaurants & food stores- had my stomach GROWLING, & when something that big growls at you, you listen! Have tried half-a-dozen recipes without a single clunker. Only 971 to go. Only problem is that I can't find a food store up here that carries authentic cajun/creole ingredients. The roux that I've found up here just doesn't taste the same- just too processed. Hey! maybe I can find a recipe for that on your site! -Basil

- My sister told me about your site, and I can't begin to tell you how much I love it!!!!! I'm originally from Lake Charles, LA, but live in North Central Mississippi now, and I've really missed my "Cajun Food roots"! Your wonderful site has made it possible for me to feel connected with my fellow Cajuns, and has made it possible for me to find recipes of foods I enjoyed as a child growing up in Southwest Louisiana, specifically, fig cake!!! Keep up the wonderful work you've been doing!!! Frances Breaux Smith
- Frances Smith, Mississippi
- I found this web site while looking around the web. It is the BEST one around that gives the true recipes to our food that our grandparents fixed, keep up the great work
- S.Marchand, Alex. La.
- What a wonderful site. I have been looking for recipies of dishes I had eaten as a child. I thought they were lost forever. Then i stumbled across your site looking for a (Porrige recipe that my Aunt Tee would make with cake chunks in it.) Seeing all the familiar recipes brought back so many memories some of which I could almost still taste. I loved the way most of the dishes called for ingredients that I already have around the house, Like I am sure it was back then, simple and delicious. Thanks again, I will pass on your site information.
- Laura Owens, Houma , Louisiana
- What a great site! Your cooking genius only is outweight by your intellectual insight to the "real cajuns" of louisiana. My dad was a car salesman at the ford place for 43 years and I am a 1958 graduate of "the Kalan Pirates" Have lived in Crowley, La for the past 40 years but still visit my sister who lives in kaplan.I have signed with my nickname as everyone has one in Kaplan!

- i visit this site often and have used several of the recipes but, i also go to the other parts of the site. great site!!
- stacy manuel, kinder, la
- This is a great website and real authentic cajun cooking like our maw maw's and taunts prepared for their families. My cajun heritage has been transplanted to North Carolina and I have found many so called cajun resturants and fast food places trying their best to serve the original taste and character of a real cajun. There is no other food like it in the world and noone can match the flavor and hospitality of Southwest La. The Real Cajun in us never dies it just lives on in our families and friends we meet along the road of life. God bless all the cajun cooks! Vickie M. Lege

- As a new arrival to NOLA I became very interested in Cajun cooking. Your site is a God send. Thanks for the wonderful recipes and keep'em coming. I gar-on-tee.

- Dalon, Cajun food, much like Cajun accents, varies from Parish to Parish. It also adapts to its surroundings -- for instance, our roux, generally made with oil or butter, is a variation of French reduction made with the more expensive heavy cream. Our ancestors could not afford the cream so they relied on animal fat to make the roux. This evolution applies to modern day Cajuns. Many of the canned products are a replacement for fats, which have been shown to have deadly effects on our hearts. While we do have etouffees with canned products, we also have versions without any soups -- just butter and crawfish fat. It's important to note that while we do have evolved recipes, we also include almost all of the original recipes we have been given. Couche-couche, gumbo, and pain perdue are just a few. If you feel as though our site is not accurate enough, I encourage you to submit recipes that you feel are accurate. Our web form can be found at http://www.realcajunrecipes.com/submit/
- Chrissy LeMaire, Kaplan, LA
- I'm sorry, but as an 8th generation Louisiana French Acadian, I see very, very few authentic recipes here! Shortcuts, canned ingedients such as soups, tomatoes, and cheese and pasta dishes are very new, if they can be called "Cajun" at all. Different cooks had different styles - but this is too far off the mark in a lot of instances. It's unfortunate to put this out there for people who don't know authentic, wonderful, true French Louisiana/Cajun cooking. My French Acadian grandmere's are turning in their graves! Let's be more accurate.
- Dalon, Lafourche/Ascension
- This website is great! I love all of the REAL cajun recipes. Keep em coming!

- Cest Bon! Your website is wonderful. My wife and I now live in rural Mississippi and they don't know how to cook cajun at all. I have enjoyed cooking for all my redneck friends and they can't get enough. I will be using many of your recipes and sending you some of mine too. Again, thanks for the GREAT website true to my heritage!
- Roy Buquoi, Baton Rouge, La.
- Oh my goodness! Found you all when I was looking for a hog's head cheese recipe. EVERYTHING on the site is swell, except that it makes me homesick. I live in Oaxaca, Mexico--not the easiest place to find crawfish. I DID find dried (!) crawfish here once, & actually made a decent etoufee-ish dish with them. Thank you, thank you--I neeeeeeded this site!
- Dot Logsdon, St. Francisville, La.
- I was so excited to find your website, I have a friend from Louisiana that introduced me to gumbo and I was hooked. I love all things cajun. I cannot wait to try some of the recipes you have listed.
- Lindsay Ridley, Raleigh, NC
- This is the most impressive, well designed, and functional web-site I've seen in ages. Looking forward to trying some of the recipies listed and visiting often!
