Cajun and Creole Recipes
- These are some of my Aurora Catering's Recipes, I have
developed these to cook our
style of South Louisiana Cuisine. If you would notice, I use salt sparingly.
So to augment that perceptive loss, I try to incorporate fresh herbs and seasonings
whenever possible. This is the true beauty of our cooking. (Be careful...
these quantities are quite large and might be a little spicy!!)

Gras Parade and Party Recipes These

so many people want to do a traditional down the bayou family dinner no matter
where you are! This is how we do it in South Louisiana. I have included
"tips" that will help you in your planning.
Our newest list of catering recipes are South of the
Boarder inspired! .... Since Katrina New Orleans has had a tremendous infusion
of Latin workers, soooo, many new Latin restaurants have popped up, AND I try to
frequent them all!! These are my twist on their food offerings.
Easter
