One time we were discussing cajun cooking and you said most everything started with the "holy trinity" and I think it was onions, celery and garlic? What that it? Also you mentioned a book for cooking that was authentic Louisiana recipes, what was that book?

Thanks, I'm hankering for some good food.

Mic beat me to it. I was wrong. It's Onions, Bell Peppers, Celery. Supprised not Garlic.

As a culinary term, the holy trinity originally refers specifically to chopped onions, bell peppers, and celery, combined in a rough ratio of 1:2:3 and used as the staple base for much of the cooking in the Cajun and Louisiana Creole regional cuisines of the state of Louisiana, USA. The preparation of classic Cajun/Creole dishes such as étouffée, gumbo, and jambalaya all start from the base of this holy trinity. Similar combinations of vegetables are known as mirepoix in French cooking, refogado in Portuguese, soffritto in Italian, and sofrito in Spanish

Every kitchen in Louisiana has this cookbook:

http://www.amazon.com/River-Road-Recipes-Textbook-Louisiana/dp/0961302682/ref=tmm_other_title_0?ie=UTF8&qid=1311900678&sr=1-1

It's been in print for 50 years.

If you'd like to hit a website with several good Louisiana recipes, try this one:

http://www.jfolse.com/newfindrecipe.htm

Lastly, everybody knows Louisiana food is Death-On-A-Plate, cardiac-wise. Folse does a good job keeping the flavor of the original, but making the recipes a bit more heart-healthy:

Thanks for those links, Jolly. I appreciate it.

I do not need artery clogging recipes, but they sure taste good! Maybe I'll check out the healthy ones.
