My love for Gumbo and a simple search on Amazon for “Creole cooking” threw up an unexpected delight in the form of an Irish-Greek writer who travelled the world and wrote one of the first (if not the first) books on Creole cooking. He seems to have been forgotten somewhat by the western world and the aim of this blogpost is to re-introduce Patrick Lafcadio Hearn and La Cuisine Creole to the culinary world.
