Pick of the Week: CeleryThis week we visited Timmy Perrilloux’s farm in Montz, LA and were thrilled to see celery coming up in his fields! In addition to being part of the “holy trinity” of Cajun cooking, celery is a healthy addition to any soup, stew, salad, or dish. It is high in Vitamin A and calcium, and low in saturated fat and cholesterol. Look for celery in the coming weeks at market. |
Tuesday’s Green Plate SpecialThe Ralph Brennan Group is certainly treating us this month, with a different landmark restaurant each week. This week we have Café b under the Green Plate Special tent with a crawfish feast, bringing us Louisiana crawfish and tomato bisque, and a delicious Louisiana crawfish pasta, with fresh market veggies and rice noodles. For dessert they will have a fresh strawberry jam tart! |
