"Leah Chase . . . the Queen of Creole Cuisine . . . is one of the
hottest chefs in town." -The National Culinary Review "While
reading the cookbook, I could not only 'hear' Leah talking to me
about her food, heritage and family, but I could smell and taste
the flavor from the great recipes and the great food that has made
Dooky Chase's my favorite restaurant." -Joe Cahn, executive
director, New Orleans School of Cooking As the owner and chef
extraordinaire of the popular Dooky Chase's Restaurant in New
Orleans, Leah Chase has distinguished herself as a community and
civic leader through her dedicated involvement with numerous
charities and organizations. The preeminent chef in the Dooky Chase
kitchen, Mrs. Chase has established a reputation as one of the best
purveyors of Creole cuisine in the nation. Leah Chase started out
at the age of eighteen working in a laundry in the French Quarter,
but soon found a job at the Colonial Restaurant on Charter Street.
It was the first time she had ever seen the inside of a restaurant.
In 1946, she married Dooky Chase, Jr., and shortly after entered
his family's restaurant business, which would grow into the present
day Dooky Chase's. Her husband's mother was running the restaurant,
and as Leah says, "Black people had no other place to go, so she
had a captive audience." Over the years, as Leah's expertise and
popularity grew, she was able to exert more influence upon the
cuisine and atmosphere at Dooky Chase's. She successfully grafted
her country roots, both in ethics and food, to the black Creole
tradition of the city, and soon the restaurant became a reflection
of Leah herself, and of the black community as a whole.
