Coles Chef Celeste’s Louisiana Kitchen: Simplifying Cajun and Creole Cuisine at Village Green Shopping Centre in Vernon, BC
*Product information may vary - to confirm product availability, pricing, shipping and return information please contact Coles
Chef Celeste Gill began to learn traditional southern cooking from her mother and grandmother at the age of four. Raised in Detroit and trained as a chef in Hawaii, she ultimately chose to make her home in South Louisiana, where she has worked to promote farm-to-table cooking and eating, and to help fledgling chefs build their confidence to make even the most intimidating traditional Louisiana dishes.
At the center of Chef Celeste’s practice is support and mentorship for new cooks as they learn to feel comfortable in the kitchen. Chef Celeste’s Louisiana Kitchen continues this work with recipes that are easy to follow, breaking down challenging preparation procedures into manageable directions and simple-to-understand steps. The recipes celebrate the bounty of Louisiana’s native plants and animals, highlighting the use of fresh ingredients, but with adjustments possible for chefs outside of the state or without easy access to fresh produce and meats.
Food is more than sustenance: it can be a refuge for some, therapy for others, and community for all. The simple act of preparing and sharing a meal can forge connections, and this book serves as a bridge to the rich world of Louisiana cuisine.
