New Orleans, Louisiana

New Orleans, good ole New Orleans (pronounced New Orlins), the undisputed food capital of the South. In the Big Easy, the heat alone is enough to slow your pace. But when you sit down to a big meal on a hot day, you have no choice but to watch the world go by. People usually think Cajun food when they visit NOLA – New Orleans Louisiana – but are surprised at the international cuisine available. Settled by the Spanish and the French, NOLA is equipped to satisfy any taste bud. From muffuletta sandwiches (which owe a nod to local Italian immigrants), Italian ice cream to gumbo, the world of food is at your finger tips. Other hometown favorites are dirty rice, blackened redfish, Bananas Foster, King Cake, soft-shell crab po'boy sandwiches and the traditional Crescent City breakfast of beignets and chicory-flavored coffee with steamed milk (cafe au lait). Favor an extra splash of heat on your gumbo? Tabasco sauce is made on Avery Island, a bird and nature preserve.

Biscotti Toscani

Reviewed on Nov. 28, 2008 by Lysa
I made the mistake of baking them about 25 minutes on the second baking and they turned out like DUST! I didn't lower the temperature of the oven though. I baked the recipe again and followed the timings exactly and they were DELICIOUS! Only thing is, they definitely aren't as hard/dry as biscotti usually are. I will try experimenting again to get them drier to see which ones I prefer. They are great as they are though (and still dunkable!)

Try using vanilla, cinnamon, and sugar in the egg/milk mixture. To die for!

Turkey Gumbo

Reviewed on Nov. 27, 2008 by ghc630
With less oil and flour to make the roux, it's a delicious meal. My family loves this. My mother made it when I was growing up. We like to use hot sausage rolled into balls and Bisquick fried, then drained to get rid of excess oil. Garlic added along with the parsely would make this a perfect reason to have Thanksgiving any time of the year.
