I was looking for a boudin ball recipe and happened upon your site. I'd just like to say that I think this is one of the finest sites I've ever visited and that I will be returning to it again. I have lived many places out west, but I am originally from here and I was amazed at how many restaurants bastardize great cajun food and try to pass it off as "real, authentic cajun cuisine". You can't just coat something in cayenne, burn it and call it an authentic blackened dish. Keep up the fantastic work and WELCOME HOME!!!!!

What a surprise to find this cookbook on line this morning. I ws looking for a roast beef recipe for a slow cooker. I just got off a 12 hour shift and feel like waking up to a good smell this afternoon. I used to live in Kaplan 20+ years ago. I picked a recipe by a Alberta Bert LeBlanc (from Kaplan). I used to work in Kaplan with an Alberta, could it possibly be the same person??? Anyway, I've got to go and get the pot roast on. Thanks for this guestbook section...it was a blast from the past for me! Ann Creston, Nebraska

I moved to Alaska from Slaughter, Louisiana. Now I have a column in our hometown paper called "The Cajun Queen", bringing recipe's to the north. While in Gonzales, La., I won the Jambalaya contest two times and retired as the "Cajun Queen", this is how my column started. I was working as an OR nurse at Gonzales Hospital.

I see some real coonass's here and some wannabes! Most of this stuff is not real cajun! Sorry just my opinion!
- Big Daddy, South

Big Daddy, The Boudreauxs and Thibodeauxs of the world seem to be pleased with the authenticity of the recipes on this site. If you are Cajun, do you have some recipes to share along with your opinion? Kthxbai!

My husband and I have spent many a good time in New Orleans and other small cities and towns in "Cajun' Country". We love cajun food and decided to host a Cajun dinner party for friends. We travel some in our motorhome, so we bought and froze some Boudin and Andouille sausage. Great web site to for recipes, but also wonderful for planning the menu. I'll be a frequent visitor!

I came across your web site while looking for a recipe for Garfish. I realy enjoyed reading it. My wife is Thai and she enjoys cooking and eating Cajun food. While looking at your Q/A section I saw the one about bee stings. That is also what my grandparents used where I grew up in Southern Illinois down in Little Egypt.

I came across your website while looking for a recipe to make boudin. My family and I are transplanted Cajuns from Lafayette, Louisiana living in Grand Junciton, Colorado. It warmed my heart to find your website. It made me a little less homesick. It seems that Cajuns seem to find each other when they are away from the Mother-Land and that has happened here. Last year, on Good Friday, we flew in live crawfish and had a huge boil for all of our friends, Cajun and not. Everyone had a blast. Now our friends, originally from Thibodaux, are returning the favor and hosting their own crawfish boil this year. With only a few days away, our mouths are watering. As one of my daughters put it, "Mama, I want to go back to Louisiana to go to college because I want to meet and marry a Cajun man and continue my french last name." I couldn't have hoped for better. Happy Easter Cher!

- Brie, Knoxville, Tn

What a FANTASTIC website!! Well Done!!! Thank you for such an Incredible Resource!! I was born and raised on Long Island in New york, But I do love Cajun food. It's really tough to find "Real" Cajun food on the Island. I completely understand what you mean about Misrepresented and misunderstood. Most people round here think "Cajun" means any food that is absurdly hot. Most people round here also think they know what Barbecue is...'Frid not!! What is done around here is Grilling...BBQ takes the better part of a Day...SLOOOOOW and LOOOOOW(heat). Thanks again!! GRRRRRRRREAT Website!!
- Dave WhiteEagle, Long Island, New York

I love this site because it reminds me of the foods my mother cooked. Each time I get hungry for something she used to cook I come to this site. Keep up the good work.

My husband and I were living in New Orleans for over two years, and just recently moved back to New Jersey. We've been missing the food tremendously...that is, until I found this website! It's been so much fun, using these recipes, and trying to bring one of our favorite parts of New Orleans back up with us to the frozen north!
- Alissa, New Jersey

Love your site! It would se scary to see how many crawfish i could eat at one time!

As a relocated cajun (22yrs. in lafayette) now in Dallas, Tx. I love your website. I just went to Ville Platte for a funeral and within hours of being there, my accent was back. And i already miss the small town hospitality. I didn't attend the parades for Mardi Gras, but seeing family is way better than any beads. I turned my wife on to real boudin from Don's seafood market in Carencro and she had to take home a 5lbs frozen box of it. thanks for the recipes it brings family closer to me when they can not be around.

Beautiful site! I lived in Lafayette for 7 years but returned home to the Bavarian Village of Leavenworth, Washington. I miss the culture and how genuine people really were. I was smiling as I was reading thru the recipes.

I love this site. I grew up on this wonderful cuisine. All my relatives live in Miss. and La. Every summer as a child I spent eating Gumbos, Ettoufees, shrimp, and crabs cooked in so many different ways imaginable. We would catch our own crabs and fish. It was a great life. It still is!

After graduating from LSU last year, I decided to move to Rhode Island. The first time I went home to visit, I flew back to RI with 5 lbs of Lejeune's sausage, 5 lbs of boudin, and my cast iron pot. Airport security wasn't amused, but I everything made it back with me!
