Book
Chef introduced Cajun cooking to the world
The youngest of 13 children, he spent much of his time in the kitchen with his mother, whom he credited for developing his appreciation of rich flavours and the fresh vegetables, poultry and seafood that she cooked. After Hurricane Katrina, he used the profits from his spice company to keep his restaurant afloat, bringing in trailers to the parking lot for his staff to live in and cooking thousands of meals for rescue workers, said Liz Williams, who heads the city's Southern Food and Beverage Museum.

Defiant dogs
Letter-writer Mark Urwin describes a close encounter with a dog while jogging at Conroy Pit. I can certainly understand his wish that dogs' behaviour be monitored by their owners (perfectly reasonable).

Inane acts
I read with interest Sarah Nichols's letter about her experience with SUV bashing.

Reality
I was pleased to read letter-writer Don Adams's comments on why Canadian support for U.S. actions should be deemed a no-brainer. In a perfect world, we as a nation would be able to maintain and defend our way of life for ourselves. This, unfortunately, has been relegated by a succession of administrations to our southern neighbour. Appalling as this may seem, it is nonetheless reality.

How they do it
I want to thank [Nigel Hannaford] for the rocket he sent off in Ottawa's general direction. As a 21-year veteran of Canada's naval operations, I could relate not only to his outrage and indignation, but could add an endless stream of similar stories and anecdotes, as could most of my shipmates.

Although it still may be a little cold in some parts of the country, in Louisiana, spring is in the air. And this spring is going to be a special one for us, because on May 12 and 13 Louisiana will celebrate the first St. Landry Parish Heritage Festival.

NEW ORLEANS IS MY CITY, and the closer I get to the real New Orleans, the more I begin to feel its mystery.

TRAVELING in style JAMBALAYA JUNKET New Orleans a la carte: A noted native conducts a tour of the many charms of the Crescent City
I love the Garden District's beveled-glass doors and its enormous oak trees, which in sunlight cast cool and inviting shadows and in evening twilight throw off shadows filled with mystery. The grandness of the magnificent houses is a reminder of the past, since many of them have been here for more than a century. I love to ride up the avenue and imagine how it must have been 100 years ago on a Sunday afternoon . . . the men in formal dress on horseback and women in their finery riding in their buggies. If you take the streetcar farther up St. Charles Avenue to where the river bends, you'll see an abundance of homes with huge windows and wrap-around porches and wonderful gardens where people held hands, where marriage was proposed and fabulous parties were given. It's a glimpse of a past of gracious living. Across tthe square, I can smell the biegnets frying as I drive down Decatur Street in my truck on my way to work. Beignets are our doughnuts-puffy pillows covered with clouds of powdered sugar-which are served with cups of thick New Orleans coffee and chicory. This beignet shop, Cafe du Monde, has been here for years, and I know I can drop by any time-whether at noon or 3 o'clock in the morning-because it never closes. The smell of the beignets and their taste are overwhelmingly wonderful, and whenever I'm there I remember how when I was a kid I used to go there with my buddies and we'd blow the powdered sugar at each other. All this can be found in one small part of one street: Decatur Street. But the French Quarter-and New Orleans-is so much more. You can find wonderful shops selling antiques and all kinds of beautiful jewelry and exciting things that are unique to the area, like Mardi Gras headdresses and masks made of beautiful feathers and sparkles, old plantation dolls and-more mystery-voodoo dolls.
