Gumbo is made in as many different ways as there are parishes in Louisiana; since Im originally from Lafayette Parish, gumbo runs in my veins.
From the Bayou Chicken and Andouille Sausage Gumbo is dark and sultry. The andouille or smoked sausage (if you can’t find andouille, go with Kielbasa) is the most important ingredient in this dish.
Like my mother before me, I learned how to make gumbo from watching my grandmother. One of my daughters, Sarah, makes a fine gumbo, while Rachael loves spicy boudin.
This family recipe echoes the friendships in my Discovering Misty books—where an octopus finds friends and a turtle is rescued.
Recently, Andrew from London reached out to feature these tales, adding a global spice to my storytelling pot!
