Classic Creole Entrees

These dishes represent ?ve generations of Creole tradition, beginning with the woman known in the family as Gramma Gaudet. Her recipes were passed on to her daughter-in-law, Mamma Jeanne (Gaudet) Doublet and then down to Audrey (La France) Gaudet and ?nally to Cheryl (Gaudet) Olivier, Chef Armand’s mother.

Creole Rabbit

22.95

Rabbit was a staple of the 19th century New Orleans table. There are several Creole versions of this specialty.
