Creole and Cajun

This so far was my favorite week, I love cajun and creole food.
Tomato and Vericot, Vert Salad
New orleans style shrimp bisque
Roasted eggplant and Oysters
Crawfish etouffe
Chicken and andouille sausage gumbo
Jumbalaya 
Chicken maquechoux with braised leeks
Fried fish with remoulade and smothered okra
Bread Pudding with whiskey sauce
Like I said this week was my favorite so far.  The gumbo was so good, well everything was amazing.  Even the tomato and vert salad.  Vert is just a fancy word for green beans by the way.  I just wish we could have spent more time on this style.

Lating american Menu #5

So here we go, its week 5, another great menu.  Although it is fun to cook Latin American food, it is definitely not my stlye.
Hearts of Palm Soup  
Mushroom Ceviche
Spinach and Cheese Tamales
Chicken with Shrimp And Nut Sauce
Pulled Beef with Rice and Beans
All the food was awesome, I was really surprised by the mushroom ceviche, it was really tasty! The pulled beef was my favorite, slow braised flank steak, pulled then sauted so damn good.
