“I’m from New Orleans, and used this recipe to make my first chicken gumbo (I always relied on family to make it for me ;). This recipe is a true Louisiana gumbo! The roux had the perfect consistency and color- just like the ones made by my grandmother and aunt” — a cook, 5★
“I’ve been missing southern food and had to make gumbo. This recipe was truly amazing and better than restaurant bought! I used the authors Cajun seasoning recipe and left out the cayenne and red pepper so my kids wouldn’t cry. I also used okra instead of file ” — a cook, 5★
