“Last fall when I had to choose between moving back to the
West Coast or launching a magazine here, Our Kitchen and Culture, LLC was
born,” said Publisher Susan Ford. “Louisiana Kitchen will give you a cultural
experience through intelligent, informed commentary, lush photography, cutting-edge
design, and provide you recipes for meals you can produce to share in that
experience.”
The theme that carries through the 96-page Louisiana Kitchen
is deeper than just the food we eat. It’s the bond we share over the restaurant
table, at the dining room buffet during a holiday or standing around the table
at a crawfish boil. The authentic and evolutionary marriage of the seven
nations that create a wonderful, imaginative Louisiana smorgasbord is only what
it is because of the cultural influences of the people that created it and
continue the traditions.
“Louisiana’s kitchens are crowded places,” said Jyl Benson,
Editor in Chief. “We keep our ancestors, generations and generations of them,
at our sides as we perform those culinary rituals that are ours alone. We share
with others, very often strangers, because we are generous people.”
The issue is full of beautiful photography that captures the
brilliant color and succulence of Louisiana’s world-renowned cuisine. Prepare
to mark recipes that you’ll no doubt want to share with your family and friends.
The Louisiana Restaurant Association is pleased to have a publication as unique as Louisiana Kitchen available to individuals near and far to further the Bayou State's brand. This publication will take you on a journey across the
state while bringing you stories of people that, in their own way, have made an
indelible mark on those around them and help weave the fabric of our beautiful
state.
Thank you for such a great review! I can't tell you what it means to hear that people really like what we've produced. Unveiling it to the world has been nerve-wracking.
