Big Easy flavor

“When people eat my food, I want to take them somewhere new, or back to a happy moment in their memories. These dishes are a tasting tour through my life, from the cooking I do today in New Orleans all the way back to the Caribbean spices I grew up with in St. Lucia.”

Chef & Owner at Compère Lapin

Q
What’s the most overlooked ingredient?
A

Onions! They are used in everything but they get no credit. They add sweetness to sauces, you can throw them raw into a salad for zing, they’re great pickled too... Just so multipurpose.

Q
If you were a food, what would you be?
A

Grilled pompano. Simple, delicious, full of flavor and meaty.

Q
You're having a bad day. What's your comfort food?
A

Any type of curry, it warms my soul.

Q
What's a family recipe that will be forever enshrined in your home cooking?
A

Fried flying fish with parsley sauce. My granny would make this on special occasions.

All the spice, twice as nice
