Attention all New Orleans chefs!

As we all know, Hurricane Katrina has devastated much of all it passed through. The city of New Orleans lays in shambles and probably will never be the same again.

I work with a reputable writer/historian who is currently writing a book on the hurricane and post hurricane response.
Something that has remained incredibly important to me is including a history of the food of New Orleans. We all know that some amazing dishes and influences on American cooking have come out of New Orleans. These same dishes play a direct role on our history. It is important for us to remind the rest of the culinary world of what may be lost because of this disaster.

I have a major publishing firm interested in publishing a non profit cook book of collected recipes from New Orleans. I want to talk to survivors, publish their stories and their favorite recipes. While currently volunteering in the Astrodome, I have been looking for anyone who may be interested in this opportunity.

If you are interested in saving a piece of the Old New Orleans, while contributing to a New New Orleans with your valuable knowledge and story, PLEASE contact me!
