Every hour, the Gulf of Mexico consumes a football-field-sized chunk of Louisiana, and Melissa M. Martin’s mission is to share recipes from her hometown of Chauvin before it’s gone. Divided into chapters by ingredient, her captivating cookbook is sprinkled with stories about Louisiana’s cooking and community. Help bring those stories to life as she teaches you to craft a delicious Cajun meal from Mosquito Supper Club: Cajun Recipes from a Disappearing Bayou.
