Named a Best New Cookbook of Spring 2020 by Bon Appétit, Food & Wine, NPR’s The Splendid Table, Eater, Epicurious, and more “Sometimes you find a restaurant cookbook that pulls you out of your cooking rut without frustrating you with miles long ingredient lists and tricky techniques. Mosquito Supper Club is one such book. . . . In a quarantine pinch, boxed broth, frozen shrimp, rice, beans, and spices will go far when cooking from this book.” —Epicurious, The 10 Restaurant Cookbooks to Buy Now “Martin shares the history, traditions, and customs surrounding Cajun cuisine and offers a tantalizing slew of classic dishes.” —Publishers Weekly, starred review For anyone who loves Cajun food or is interested in American cooking or wants to discover a distinct and engaging new female voice—or just wants to make the very best duck gumbo, shrimp jambalaya, she-crab soup, crawfish étouffée, smothered chicken, fried okra, oyster bisque, and sweet potato pie—comes Mosquito Supper Club. Named after her restaurant in New Orleans, chef Melissa M. Martin’s debut cookbook shares her inspired and reverent interpretations of the traditional Cajun recipes she grew up eating on the Louisiana bayou, with a generous helping of stories about her community and its cooking. Every hour, Louisiana loses a football field’s worth of land to the Gulf of Mexico. Too soon, Martin’s hometown of Chauvin will be gone, along with the way of life it sustained. Before it disappears, Martin wants to document and share the recipes, ingredients, and customs of the Cajun people. Illustrated throughout with dazzling color photographs of food and place, the book is divided into chapters by ingredient—from shrimp and oysters to poultry, rice, and sugarcane. Each begins with an essay explaining the ingredient and its context, including traditions like putting up blackberries each February, shrimping every August, and the many ways to make an authentic Cajun gumbo. Martin is a gifted cook who brings a female perspective to a world we’ve only heard about from men. The stories she tells come straight from her own life, and yet in this age of climate change and erasure of local cultures, they feel universal, moving, and urgent.

Down on the bayou, we are taught from a young age how to live off the land and water if we have to, knowing that nothing in life is a sure thing. Most families in our neck of the swamp, have a fisherman, or hunter or two in the household, who brings home wild game and fish to cook for supper, and keeps our freezers filled until Hurricane Season. When a storm hits, flood waters rise, or someone is getting married, or divorced, a new young'un is on the way, or someone has gone to meet the Good Lord, we come together in The Riverhood and cook something to soothe our souls. This cookbook is a collection of recipes and pictures from the River People, aka, Swamp People, Swampers, River Rats, and Rajun Cajuns, that will show and tell you about our unique way of life and good cooking. Bon Appetite!PLEASE NOTE: THERE ARE TWO VERSIONS OF THIS BOOK AVAILABLE. ONE IS IN COLOR INTERIOR AND THE OTHER IS BLACK AND WHITE INTERIOR. THIS IS THE BLACK AND WHITE INTERIOR. THE COLOR VERSION IS A LITTLE MORE EXPENSIVE TO PRINT. SO I OFFER TWO VERSIONS.
