Lucy Buffett's newest cookbook, Gumbo Love, is a love letter to the northern coast of the Gulf of Mexico, containing mouthwatering recipes, heartwarming stories, personal adventures and stunning Gulf Coast photography. If you love our Gulf Coast, you need this cookbook! |

If you've never been, Lucy Buffett's LuLu's is a place that graduated from a humble beginning as a local watering hole to today's family-friendly restaurant and entertainment complex, serving more than a million customers each year at two locations. It's a place where music is central, and live every night, featuring local talent. You know as soon as you come upon this place that you are gonna have fun! LuLu's now has those two locations, with a third coming soon to the South Carolina coast.
You may also know Lucy from her previously published cookbook LuLu's Kitchen, an updated version of her original Crazy Sista Cooking, and now she has gathered up her food experiences from all across the Gulf Coast in her brand new, Gumbo Love: Recipes for Gulf Coast Cooking, Entertaining, and Savoring the Good Life, available now.
A notable "love letter to the northern coast of the Gulf of Mexico," Gumbo Love shares a visual diary of mouthwatering recipes, heartwarming stories, personal adventures and stunning Gulf Coast photography that truly captures the essence of everything natives love about our beautiful Gulf Coast. If you're new to our area, you'll learn very quickly, why we love our Gulf Coast so much.
From her grandmothers' homes in south Mississippi, to growing up in L.A. (that's Lower Alabama y'all), down to Key West, over to New Orleans, and back to Gulf Shores, these recipes are a reflection of Lucy Buffett's Sunday dinner family traditions and her Gulf Coast food experiences. They will walk you through southern classics with our Gulf Coast personality, over to Cuban and Old Florida tastes, from Cajun to Creole to Mexican.
The book begins with short foreward by author, Thomas McGuane, followed by a Letter from LuLu, that literally made my eyes well up, because being a Biloxi girl, I totally get it. The Introduction gives you a bit of history about how LuLu's came to be, and leaves you with words of wisdom she entitles Ten Grateful Ingredients for a Bright Life and a Happy Kitchen, and the kitchen essentials you'll need to know how to do and have in order to cook our Gulf Coast.
Featuring 11 chapters of drool-worthy recipes, each chapter begins with a short introduction, heartwarming stories filled with memories, and often offering up a bit of boot-strap southern wisdom. Each individual recipe leads with a little ditty of howit came to be. I just know as a fan of this site, you will love this book as much as I do!
As usual with my cookbook reviews, here's a little peek into the book - enjoy!
Desserts
Classic Southern Pound Cake with Strawberries, p. 3 |
Starters and Snacks
Classic Shrimp Remoulade p. 37 |
Starters and Snacks are next, with lots of shrimp, from Spicy Shrimp Ceviche, to Poached Shrimp, Easy Boiled Shrimp and Classic Shrimp Remoulade (pictured above). Oysters are covered too, with a tale that starts with a visit in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina to Ralph Brennan's Red Fish Grill in New Orleans, and how a humble platter of oysters set the pace for rebuilding... another story that made my eyes well up.
You'll find Icy-Cold Gulf Oysters on the Half Shell with Classic Cocktail and Mignonette Sauces, Pan-Broiled Gulf Oysters with Lemon-Garlic Butter, Gulf Oysters Brochette, drizzled with honey and blue cheese, and she'll even teach you how to shuck them! Other recipes include Rosemary Roasted Pecans, Stone Crabs with Key Lime Mustard Sauce, Bad Girl Buffalo Wings, Fresh Herb and Garlic Cheese Spread, Tailgate Shrimp and Crab Dip, Honey Ale Pimento Cheese, Five-Olive Salad with Fresh Herbs, Black Bean and Corn Salad Dip, Holy Guacamole, and Watermelon, Green Tomato, Cherry Tomato and Pineapple-Cucumber Salsas.

Heavenly Fried Crab Claws, Crab and Corn Fritters and Shrimp Fritters, Deep-Fried Okra and Hushpuppies too!

These include a Key West Dinner Party menu, Old West Coast Florida Party Menu, a Sweet Home Alabama Buffett family buffet menu, and a No Place Like NOLA menu.
If you love the Gulf Coast like I do, you will absolutely love everything there is about this book. I think that it's the first time I've seen a cookbook that truly captures all of the cuisines along our beautiful Gulf Coast, in one place. Visit LuLu's in Gulf Shores, Destin and soon in South Carolina for the full experience, but in the meantime pick up some Gumbo Love at your favorite retail outlets, or online at places like Amazon.
Here's a few recipes courtesy of Lucy Buffett's Gumbo Love, to hold you over in the meantime.

ReplyDeleteLucy Buffett is my hero! I really dig her coastal style and awesome food.

ReplyDeleteI'm so excited about Lucy's new Gumbo Love cookbook. I can hardly wait to read it and make a lot of her recipes like the shrimp fritters, her Daddy's Navy Bean Soup, Deep Fried Okra, Fried Green Tomatoes, a lot of the other fish & seafood recipes, salads, & appetizers. wish I lived near Lulu's but this is the next best thing! thank you, LenaD Ch :)
ReplyDeleteGumbo Love just makes me miss my Southern roots even more. I am living in New York!state near the PA border and trust me when I say there are no good gumbos here and it is hard to get good wild caught shrimp and fish.Fried Okra I do make. This book would give me a chance to make recipes of the food I miss the most. Reading the article makes me homesick and hungry!
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful looking cookbook. Not only does the food look amazing, but I can tell the book is put together with "Gumbo Love". I want one!
ReplyDeleteI love your selection of recipes--they are spot on. I grew up in suburb of New Orleans so I was thrilled to see all your choices--very well done!Your video was a treasure to see your journey and story of love of food in the South!
ReplyDeleteLove, love, love Lucy and Lulu's. Would love to have a copy of this new cookbook! Already drooling over these recipes.
ReplyDeleteI've tried a couple of your recipes found on line and enjoyed them ... Key Lime Bars being one of them. Anyway, we just moved to South Carolina (Lake Keowee in Seneca - come for a boat ride!!) from Morgan Hill, California after 30+ years in the west. I NEED TO LEARN SOUTHERN COOKING .. this would be a great 1st book for my self teaching classes !
ReplyDeleteThanks, Christy B Schwartz christybschwartz@gmail.com
I cannot wait to make these recipes! The ones shown on the website look awesome and seem easy to do. I love all things Southern! Hubby and I escaped from Connecticut to Tennessee. Best thing we ever did! I try my hand at home made Southern recipes every chance I get. Some come out great, others need work. But I love it! We are Southern by choice! If I don't win the book, I WILL buy it! Thank you! my email:

Hoping to win the book for my mom!!
ReplyDeleteI'll try this again. Seems my previous posts did not go through. I would LOVE to win this cookbook. I visit Gulf Shores at least annually and always stop in for a meal at LuLu's.
