I’ve been cooking for more than 60 years. I cooked for my family when I was a kid. I worked in a restaurant and made 300 breakfasts every morning Monday through Saturday for five years. I’ve cooked for as many as 500 people at a time and cooked dinner for two nearly every evening for 35 years. I made every recipe in Mastering the Art of French Cooking in the 1970s—long before Julie and Julia.
I’ve been making gumbo off and on for 40 years and last night I made the best gumbo of my life bar none. A shot of American single malt and a bowl of of gumbo and I was good to go.
Oh yeah?! Well I make a mean grilled cheese………….
I know you probably winged it, but if you have a rough ‘recipe’ of your gumbo, your adoring readers would love to try it. I’ve never made even a reasonable gumbo.
It’s here.
