“Good basic gumbo recipe. I prefer thighs to breasts for gumbos and other stews. Breast meat can get a little mushy. I add okra to my gumbo. It helps thicken the stew and tastes good, too! And I prefer potato salad to rice. It's not the traditional 4th of July ” — a cook, 4★
“It amazes me when people write a review and claim it is bland or needs this or that. Recipes like these require tweaking to ones taste. This is a great basic recipe for gumbo! If you taste along the way, you may realize you need to add this or that to suit you” — a cook, 5★
