Marcelle Bienvenu's highly anticipated new release of her timeless classic, Who's Your Mama, Are You Catholic, and Can You Make A Roux? is a treasure trove of over two hundred recipes, now complete with a foreword by Emeril Lagasse and sumptuous color photography capturing the essence of every season.

Praised by The New York Times in 2009 as "having what might be the best-named cookbook in America" this book promises to be a coveted collectible, with curated family recipes accumulated over generations alongside captivating life stories on Bayou Têche. 

Featured in the Aug/Sept issue of Garden & Gun by Jonathan Miles, who raves that "What sets South Louisiana cuisine apart lies at the nucleus of [one] of this year’s finest cookbooks...Bienvenu spices her [book] with anecdotes, digressions, and heaps of mamaw energy."

Tradition and flavor beckons readers into Bienvenu's world. From Backbone Stew (Reintier de Cochon) to Aunt Jenny's Daube Glacé and Poor Al's Fried Turkey, each dish inspires readers to embark on a journey through the tapestry of Cajun and Creole Cuisine.

Relish the stories of the bayou and the warmth of Southern hospitality with Bienvenu's easy, foolproof recipes...the perfect companion for seasoned chefs, aspiring home cooks, and those that cherish the foodways of South Louisiana.
