Memere's Country Creole Cookbook showcases regional dishes and
cooking styles associated with the ""German Coast,"" a part of
southeastern Louisiana located along the Mississippi River north of
New Orleans. This rural community, originally settled by German and
French immigrants, produced a vibrant cuisine comprised of classic
New Orleans Creole dishes that also feature rustic Cajun flavors
and ingredients. A native and longtime resident of the German
Coast, Nancy Tregre Wilson focuses on foods she learned to cook in
the kitchens of her great-grandmother (Memere), her Cajun French
grandmother (Mam Papaul), and her own mother. Each instilled in
Wilson a passion for the flavors and traditions that define this
distinct Cajun Creole cuisine. Sharing family recipes as well as
those collected from neighbors and friends, Wilson adds personal
anecdotes and cooking tips to ensure others can enjoy the specialty
dishes of this region. The book features over two hundred recipes,
including dishes like crab-stuffed shrimp, paneed meat with white
gravy, red bean gumbo, and mirliton salad, as well as some of the
area's staple dishes, such as butterbeans with shrimp, galettes
(flattened, fried bread squares), tea cakes, and ""l'il coconut
pies."" Wilson also offers details of traditional rituals like her
family's annual November boucherie and the process for preparing
foods common in early-twentieth-century Louisiana but rarely served
today, such as pig tails and blood boudin. Pairing historic recipes
with Wilson's memories of life on the German Coast, Memere's
Country Creole Cookbook documents the culture and cuisine of an
often-overlooked part of the South.
