Mardi Gras is Almost Here! We're Celebrating Wednesday Night - Join Us!

Hello, foodies…

 

Mardi Gras is right around the corner! And this Wednesday on In the Kitchen with David, we're celebrating New Orleans style with a recipe you'll find in practically every bakery throughout the South. I'll give you a hint…you don't want to find the baby!

 


 

So what’s new with the cookbook? Well, I’m THRILLED to report we’ve chosen the recipe titles. (I can see my kitchen table again!) But the next step is arranging the recipes into chapters. At first, I thought we should keep it simple: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner, and Dessert. But, the more I thought about, I realized how big the chapters would be, and how impossible it would be to find specific recipes. Then, I thought we should organize by season. But again, that’s only four chapters. “This has to be user-friendly!” I told myself. In the end, we’ve decided to break the book down by types of food. We’ll have everything from Breads and Salads to Chicken and One-Pot Meals. And, there may or may not be an entire chapter dedicated to bacon! (You’re surprised, aren’t you?)

 

Okay, foodies, here's your blog question: Mardi Gras is steeped in tradition of rich food. How do you indulge during the Mardi Gras season? Do you make a King Cake? Homemade doughnuts? Maybe a savory roast? Share your favorites below then join us this Wednesday at 9pm ET. We're off to the Bayou!

 

Keep it flavorful!

David
