The Greek philosopher Socrates believed that hunger is the best appetizer. That is true - if hunger and dinner arrive in the right sequence. When they do not, then a good introduction awakens the slumbering appetite, and something good to drink may help make the difference between having eaten and having eaten well. That is why, from ancient times, appetizer recipes for some special extras have been cherished. (from the book - La Bonne Cuisine - cooking New Orleans style)

Many visitors to New Orleans often get the wrong impression of New Orleans Cuisine, that it is rich, French, difficult to make and expensive. However, many favorite dishes are distinctively local, simple, and frugal. These dishes are designed to use leftovers and whatever is available. Some of these dishes are even better warmed-up than when first cooked. Many of these dishes can be varied almost endlessly. In most good New Orleans kitchens, food is never thrown away. Their aim is to make something good out of everything they have. Indeed, learning to do that is what created New Orleans cooking.
