Another lifetime ago, I found myself stuck in New Orleans. Had to earn money to get back home. Got a job in a mom and pop eatery. I went to cooking school and thought I knew enough, but I was humbly wrong. I ended up staying for 2 yrs and I loved every bit of the food and culture. I'll eat me some gumbo.
My Mom (RIP) was a Creole Chef from "Nawlins." The way you cooked your gumbo was almost to the letter the way she (and I) cooked hers. The only difference is that she added seafood stock to the chicken broth. I also add crawfish tails when I'm showing off my culinary skills for family and friends in Baton Rouge. Thank you for keeping your gumbo authentic. I've seen people put ham, turkey necks and other (IMO) non-traditional meats in their creations and call it gumbo. The tradition and culture of gumbo is important to me and you uphold both to the letter. I am now a subscriber.
well wait a minute girl, did you not trip when ya see him drop the freeze dried Koren shrimps in there lol !!! Question when you make the seafood gumbo broth do you boil shrimp/crawfish/crab shells etc. or what you do to make the broth other than chicken broth for the seafood gumbo?
I personally love New Orleans style gumbo! But Louisiana is strange when it comes to Gumbo! Every 15 miles down the road is different! I cook this where I live? I’d get shot! 😂😂😂😂
I hunted all over for an authentic gumbo recipe then found this one. Made it last night, following your recipe 100%. Absolutely incredible. Thank you for taking the time to put this together.
i miss living in New Orleans. what a place it was in 70s and early 80s when they still had fat city and all these amazing restaurants and clubs and lovely Cajun ladies.
This looks like my late stepfather's gumbo that he used to serve at our family's restaurant when I was a kid, except he also put crab claws in his. I sometimes helped with pulling the meat off the chicken, but I was too young to remember the recipe. Thanks for sharing this. I don't like okra any other way, because of the texture, but it tastes great in gumbo for some reason.
Yes sir now that's a gumbo I like ,nice and juicy with okra , and you can use invitations lobster in it , like I used , serve over white rice , freeze the left over for another day , most time it taste much better after you freeze it , a great meal for dinner on a cold night , great video , you explained it well, great job.
I grew up in La near Mamou and I cook exactly this man very lucky to have the cajun parents I had. I live in Cali for over 20 years and still cook as I did back home some things never changed. Thank you for the memories in the kitchen. This looks like a million bucks to me but better.
I just made this awesome gumbo recipe and it came out perfectly. It is fun for me to share this great cuisine with my family and friends in New York. I have strong Texas and Louisiana roots; Cajun cooking is in my bones. This recipe was easy to follow and produced an authentic smell and taste. Five stars.
I'm from Texas and that's how I cook mine too. Instead of the dried shrimp I put in seafood stock but its basically the same thing and I add tomatoes. Not many ppl know the okra secret either so that was awesome to see. Great looking gumbo
Thank you so much for the wonderful recipe! My husband and I made this last night and it was easily the best gumbo either of us have ever had. We'll never go out to a restaurant for gumbo ever again and will make this many times in the future. Looking forward to trying your seafood gumbo next 😀Thanks again!
Oh my! I have to warm my dinner after seeing that beautiful gumbo come together in front of my eyes! Thanks for an excellent demonstration. Now, to satisfying my appetite,which you aroused.
Been trying to find the Gumbo my mother would cook on Thanksgiving and Christmas. She would develop a very dark roux. It is a pleasure seeing an authentic filet gumbo! Even more of a pleasure eating filet Gumbo!
Im goin in, my first gumbo! This is a good guide although i will be adding more shrimp plus the dried shrimp. And a bit of crab in shell. Im making a big pot. Thanks and wish me luck😎
My gumbo went sideways. Roux base butter n bacon grease. Whos idea? Anyway i dont know what specific seasoning is responsible for gumbo taste. I call my dish yumbo and its great. My garlic sausage n lump crab were excellent. Ill try again🧑🏾🍳
Oh yes! This looks nice and thick, just how I like it. Lots of folks here in NOLA make watery flavorless gumbo with hot dogs lol. Excellent video and recipe, will definitely use. Thank you!
😅😅😅 Yes This Looks Delicious And Authentic.. It Suppose To Be A Hearty Meal But The Watered Down Version Was Killing Me.. I've Been To New Orleans 2x And Sad To Say I Did Not Enjoy The Food The 2nd Time Around.. I Made Some Myself For The 1st Time And Did Very Well! 😋😋
@@WilliamsLegacy6997 Yes ma’am, I totally understand lol. I’m not originally from here but was told that all the good “soul food” left along with folks after Katrina. Most went to Houston and Atlanta.
Thank you so much for this video. This is the Gumbo recipe I've been looking for and, you explain it in plain English so it's easy for me to understand. Trying your recipe tomorrow for sure. Thanks again.
I've decided I am going to be brave enough to attempt to make Gumbo for the very FIRST time. So I got on YT, and yours was the first video I watched because it said " authentic", and that is exactly what I want to make cause I've had authentic Gumbo, and won't settle for anything less. That Gumbo looks AMAZING, and I can't wait to make it! Hope I don't mess it up! Thank you for sharing your recipe.
@@plated4109my momma was from Jackson Mississippi and she made gumbo like this with crab meat seafood gumbo she called it and was so good this looks like it thanks
I made this last night bro! I appreciate your video. The rue is a bit tricky and I could have made it a bit darker. But, the flavor was on point thanks to you. I threw some snow crab legs in it as well. Thank you!
Absolutely Amazing!!!! The way you explained it and in demonstration was awesome. I'll will be making this dish EXACTLY the way it was made in the video. Awesome👍
EXELLENT video, I made this for my family, I cut back a little on the pepper and we don't like bay leaves but it was delicious and the directions were so well explained-I subscribed

Perfectly made 👌
Thank you for watching
Good job. I'm a New Orleanian. Thumbs up!
Thank you so much
The roux is SO important! I made it perfectly tonight and I couldn’t be prouder in a culinary sense.
What is a Dutch oven and how hot should the pot be while making the roux & should it maintain the same temperature throughout the whole process
The single most important part in fact.
Thanks for sharing 👍 ❤
Man I'm from Louisiana and I'm ready for some good southern style cooking. Can't wait to get back home...That looks so good .....

It’s not gumbo without the okra! Who cares what people think?! I’m glad that you included that very vital ingredient. Nice video.
Thank you so much we like ours with the okra included as well
This looks amazing. Thanks for the recipe.
For those that aren't big on boiled okra...a New Orleans trick my Grandmother taught me is to stir in fried okra right before you serve the gumbo.
Thanks for the tip Rick
That’s exactly what I do.
Battered or unbattered?
@@sl4564 Battered
If you don’t like okra, you’re not human! 😄
Yep! The money shot got me. Excellent video and we thank you for sharing..the gumbo looks so good!
Thank you so much for your comment. Check out our other videos

Great minds think alike, thanks for watching Alisha. 🎯
No indeed we Louisiana don’t put tomatoes in gumbo
@@marie3919 thank you. My Great Granny would've had a fit!
The Added Tomatoes is More Of A Creole Gumbo But Just As Delicious As The Other
Awesome video! Looks amazing! I wish the videos were a little longer. Thank you!
cooking it was long enough lol
Thank you so much for the wonderful recipe! My husband and I made this last night and it was easily the best gumbo either of us have ever had.
