In November 2011, Elie and I visited my Dad, who lives in Mississippi about an hour from New Orleans. My self-appointed mission during my stay in the Big Easy—expand beyond the beignets and café au lait to explore New Orleans restaurants committed to supporting local farmers, fisherman and producers. I didn’t have to look far, beginning with the restaurant named for NOLA’s favorite animal—the pig.
I wrote about this trip before Simmstown was created, so you can read about our trip to New Orleans on my Nourish RDs blog, here.
I love when I see an email from a friend, and that’s how I think of you. I hope you feel the same. In my newsletter, I share the kinds of recipes and stories I used to blog about. You’ll get the recipes I’m cooking for my family as well as anything else I think might bring more connection or more joy.
