Everyone Needs A Mentor.

I Guess I Feel That I Was Following My Instincts, And At The Same Time Being Guided By The Best. I Became Totally Intrigued With Louisiana - The People, The Food. It Is A Part Of My Life. Everything That Has Happened For Me Since Moving Here Has Just Been Icing On The Cake.

I Think You've Got To Keep It Simple, Keep It Fresh. Stay Away From All That Processed Stuff, Read The Labels.

Cleanliness Is Very Important. If You Let Kids Make A Total Mess In The Kitchen And Then Leave, You're Not Really Teaching Them Anything.

We'll Be Going To The Fish Market And A Farmer's Market This Afternoon To Get What We Need To Make And Eat Dinner As A Family. I'm Trying To Expose My Kids To Going To A Farmers Market Or The Fish Market And Learning What That's All About.

Many Of My Staff Have Been With Me For Over 20 Years. I Have A Great Team, And I Make Sure They Feel Respected And Appreciated.
