Cajun and Creole Recipes
- These are some of my Aurora Catering's Recipes, I have
developed these to cook our
style of South Louisiana Cusine. If you would notice, I use salt sparingly.
So to augment that perceptive loss, I try to incorporate fresh herbs and seasonings
whenever possible. This is the true beauty of our cooking. (Be careful...
these quantities are quite large and might be a little spicy!!)
These
are our gross Halloween recipes for that special Harry Scary Party. We're

Our newest list of catering recipes are South of the
Boarder inspired! .... Since Katrina New Orleans has had a tremendous infusion
