The Best First Roux Isn’t for Gumbo (opens the original)
Read excerpt
This newsletter has been quiet because the book has been really noisy lately. What began as an exploration of roux, Cajun cooking, and the food I missed from home became a full manuscript requiring recipe tests, fact-checking, and more rounds of revision than I could’ve imagined.I am now at the point where I can pivot some of that work into Substack content in the form of practical lessons that help you become a more confident cook. Let’s begin with the easiest roux recipe I know.It isn’t gumbo.
