Creole is New Orleans city food. Communities were created by the people who wanted to stay and not go back to Spain or France.

I opened a restaurant that had nothing but California wines.

If you have acid in food, you need to sugar it. At a high temperature, the acids are changed to sugar.

When the taste changes with every bite and the last bite tastes as good as the first, that's Cajun.

I would work as a cook, get a little money, then open another restaurant.

One of my missions was to teach.

We had no electricity, no gas. Food was probably our greatest entertainment - the most fun thing that we could do was food.
