A bisque is a type of soup, so all bisque is soup, but not all soups are bisque. If you make bisque the old-fashioned way, the key difference is the way in which cream is used in the dish.

The main ingredient of a bisque is usually a shellfish like lobster, crab, shrimp, or crawfish, but occasionally other ingredients such as tomato, pumpkin or chicken are used. Aromatic vegetables like celery, onion and carrot are typically used alongside the main ingredient to make a flavourful base, and the dish is well-seasoned, using various herbs and spices.

Of course our favorite is the Lobster Bisque, this queen of the seas, boasts a delicate, sweet, and slightly briny flavor. WIth flavor-packed chunks of lobster tail in every bite and infused with garlic butter. Try the bisque at GW Fins Restaurant on Bienville in NOLA made with Maine lobster, cognac and crème fraiche. Thank us later🥄

Seafood charcuterie, also known as "seacuterie," offers a delightful twist on the classic charcuterie board. Instead of cured meats, it features an array of fresh and prepared seafood, creating a vibrant and flavorful experience. Imagine smoked salmon, succulent shrimp, flaky whitefish, and perhaps some crab or lobster. These can be complemented by various dips like creamy crab dip or tangy aioli, along with pickled vegetables for a touch of acidity. Don't forget the bread and crackers for serving! Seafood charcuterie is a perfect appetizer or light meal, ideal for gatherings or a special treat. It's a visually stunning and delicious way to showcase the bounty of the sea.🥄

The history of birthday cakes can be traced back to ancient cultures, including the Greeks, Romans, and Egyptians. The tradition of celebrating birthdays with cake and candles became popular in Germany in the 18th century.

Ancient Greece: Cakes were made from wheat, honey, nuts, and cheese, and were often decorated with candles to represent the moon. The candles were put out after making a wish, with the belief that the smoke carried the wish to the gods.

Ancient Rome: Cakes were occasionally served at weddings and special birthdays. They were made from flour, nuts, and honey, and leavened with yeast.

Ancient Egypt: Cakes were a part of ceremonial celebrations.

Happy Birthday to all our February babies🥄

The term pizza was first recorded in the year 997 AD, in a Latin manuscript from the southern Italian town of Gaeta.

Raffaele Campania revolutionized the dish previously considered peasant food and transformed it into the globally famous food we know today.

Before this, pizza was a popular only in the poor neighborhoods of Naples, and it was made without cheese, with just tomato sauce, garlic, and oregano. But in 1889, during a visit of King Umberto I and Queen Margherita of Savoy to Naples, the Chef surprised the queen by preparing a pizza in the colors of the Italian flag by using red tomato sauce, white mozzarella and green basil.

This teaches us that creativity and innovation can turn something ordinary into something extraordinary. By thinking outside the box and adding a personal touch, even a humble dish can become a global sensation.🥄
