Culinary Roots. . .

There are some foods that bring me immense satisfaction. I like well prepared sushi as much as I like venison tenderloin wrapped in foie gras mousseline served with a mustard-lavender demi-glace. But an all-star favorite is the simple peasant food simply known as red beans and rice.

Slowly cooked and a small portion of the beans pureed to give a nice creamy body, red beans and rice will always bring a smile to my face and tummy.

Traditionally eaten on Mondays in New Orleans, the rice and beans served together provide a complete protein for your nutritional needs. And it just tastes damn good!
