Oyster Stew : page 14
A good, smooth, rich and layered tasting oyster stew. Won the heart of my father-in-law, on Christmas eve several years ago. I'm the only one in my immediate family who likes oysters, so I have to invite the right people over! The rice adds excellent texture, and the watercress and scallions are a must for me; just enough pepperiness and onion to make the dish sing. Also have always use store-bought chicken stock. Would love to try it with homemade stock, too. In my dreams!

Red beans and rice : page 49
I love this dish, have made it a couple of times per year for the last ten years or so, when I really want an excellent meaty stew. I haven't yet made it with dried beans, always in a (relative) rush and forget to soak and have to go with canned; I'm sure the textures would really be great if I soaked the beans. Also, have often subbed oil for the lard/bacon fat, but of course it's tastier if you've got those tablespoons of bacon fat! Good man, good cook, who left us too soon!
