Good morning everyone!
Well in my UPCOMMING COOKBOOK...
"Creole Love : Cooking with Papa Gumbeaux"
There are many time tested recipies for many traditional Creole recipies I'm sure you will enjoy making for your family. But there is so much more to this book...
It's a story for Creole Cooking and Creole life! Pictures of where we live and come from...the bayous and wetlands which formed our culinary traditions.
Places that are disappearing rapidly like the saltwater marshes and inland waterways where our seafood species grow and live.
These are personal photos I have taken over the years as I have traveled and enjoyed the beautiful landscapes of the coast and waterways of Louisiana, Texas and Mississippi.
It's something I believe you will enjoy in everyday. And as you cook and make the recipies in the book...there are pages for making these traditional recipies your own by writing down notes and changes to the recipie that are uniquely yours to be passed on to your families future cooks!
Blessings all...
The book will be available on all platforms and can be ordered in paperback as well...
Blessings all and I hope you get and enjoy this first book of mine.....there are more to come!

My new book will be out soon! It is in the final stages of creating the cover art. Content and been finalized.
The book isn't just a compilation of recipies...its my story as well and some history of our Creole Culture and traditional recipes. It also has a place for your story to intersect with it giving you blank pages to make each recipie uniquely yours for passing on these traditions to your family!
In the book are sections that are called "Papa Gumbeaux Talks".
These are stories, experiences and tips that I have shared with you from my family culinary traditions and life! It is a unique mix of facts, recipies, historical tide bits and family times.
I hope you buy one and make this book a success for my family and yours. It will be a great gift for the Holidays!
God bless and I will let you know when it is available online and in book stores!
Blessings all!

Well it has been quite a month! Survived Covid Delta, and now dealing with the aftermath of Hurricane Ida...
I thank God that my family and friends are safe and well as can be!
I hope you all are doing well as well!
My health is good, still smell and taste kinda out of wack. My energy level is coming back...so recovering! Fema seems absent from the city and DTR! People are struggling to find shelter and resources to survive in this aftermath...makes me sad.
The book is coming along though and in the final stages editing and being made ready to go to print!
Also started work on the second one...yesterday! So staying busy.

Will be heading back to working doing sheetrock, painting and home repairs. So if you need work, give me a message and I will get back to you. Booking jobs now to start work in 2 weeks.

Everyone please stay safe and be well...
Still waiting on power to move back to NOLA!
God bless all! We really took a hit with this one!
God bless and keep you all!

Well the book is progressing nicely! Almost finished with the editing and photo selection. Unfortunately, the release date is going to be moved back just a little bit! I appreciate all the love and support! This book will be a unique and great gift for the holidays...
It isn't just a cookbook...its a story of my Creile Heritage, history of some of our classic and traditional foods and a look at many unique pictures of our land.....the Saltwater marshes is disappearing at an alarming rate due to fresh water intrusion because of all the cutting up and drilling of the marshlands. With this loss we will loose many beautiful varieties of wildlife and a way of life that has sustained my family and many peoples throughout the centuries.
So buy the book please and help to preserve this history by sharing a copy with others.
Thank you and God bless you for all your support.
I will be getting the work finished within the next 3 weeks and it will go to print. Just a few details to iron out.
When I know how, what and when you can pre-order...i.will post it here and within the many groups I belong too who so graciously allow my posts to be shared!
Blessings and thank you all!
1000 copies pre-ordered will make this work a "bestseller"!
A dream within the dream!
Thank you all!
So please
