Pastitsio

February 16, 2023 By Carine Clary 4 Comments

Classic Greek Pastitsio for anyone who wants a meaty layered casserole with a savory twist. The meat can be ground beef or lamb (with an addition of pork for flavor and juiciness) and it’s cooked with onions, garlic, oregano, and a pinch of cinnamon. Add a can of fire-roasted tomatoes, some red balsamic vinegar, pour…

Fruit Fool

Fruit Fool

June 12, 2022 By Carine Clary 2 Comments

  Fruit Fools are summer fruits in season marinated in a little sugar and flavorings of your choice then layered alternately with cookies with whipped cream. That’s it! And if you have given a little extra kick to the marinade via some lemon zest and liqueur you’ll end up serving something very tasty but very…

Two Packet Pot Roast

Two Packet Pot Roast

May 19, 2022 By Carine Clary Leave a Comment

Two Packet Pot Roast is as good as its word. And one of my favorites on this site. It’s extremely easy and utterly unctuous as it uses only two flavor packets plus some water, balsamic vinegar, and time. Low and slow it yields fall-apart deliciousness. Once it’s fork-tender you’ll skim off the grease, thicken the…

Creole Spaghetti Pie

Creole Spaghetti Pie

March 29, 2022 By Carine Clary Leave a Comment

Can you say easy? Savory, cheesy creole spaghetti “pie” perfect for parties or family gatherings. Feeds a variable number of peeps depending on side dishes. What you see here is half the recipe and it fed three very hungry Mardi Gras celebrants! And yes, it’s more like a casserole in this presentation but you can…

Seafood Paella

Seafood Paella

January 25, 2022 By Carine Clary Leave a Comment

This is the Seafood Paella you’ll want on the weekend as a treat for friends but mostly for yourself. Paella is often wrongly described as ‘like Cajun Jambalaya’ but it’s not. The cooking technique for the seafood version of paella is really closer to west African Jollof Rice where the rice is partly cooked separately…

About Me

Hello, I'm Carine Clary and I'm the FrangloSaxon.

And is that a word? In a word - Yes! It reflects my French connections in the south part of the state and the Anglo Saxon ones on the Arkansas state line. I grew up eating & loving all the foods of Louisiana and the idea is to collect lots of them right here on this website.

What you'll find here is food that reflects everybody's cooking. Creole we know. Cajun we know. But how about Croatian or Vietnamese....or Italian or German....or the underestimated plain Southern food they do so well in the upstate parishes?

They're all part of who we are so pull up your chair and join me for some good eats!

Mussolini Sandwich

Back in pre World War II days it was actually possible to find restaurants in New Orleans which served something called the Mussolini Sandwich. The History Say what?? It is true and I have the ad to prove it. I thought it would be fun to recreate but needless to say there is no record…

Chicken Mull

Chicken Mull is the old name for Stewed Chicken in milk. It’s also sometimes called Jallop.  This is a cold weather, church supper dish that has spread from its Georgia Carolina origins and now pops up in a few other spots. If you want your kids to come home on their college breaks, make sure…

Vietnamese Cucumber Salad

A Vietnamese cucumber salad that looks elegant and tastes really good. For some reason I’ve found that the dressing tastes better after it’s had a chance to set a spell, so if you have the time you should make it a day ahead or at least a couple of hours ahead but don’t add it…

Christopher Sandwich

For everyone coming off the post-July 4th carnivorous barbequed everything high, let me present the Christopher Sandwich. Almost vegetarian (except for the bacon) it’s both filling and light. The avocado and cheese stick to your ribs while the tomato, onion, olives, pickles, and mushrooms add interest and a salty tang.  And then there are the…

Turkey Poulette

Back in the eighties they made a TV movie about a post-apocalyptic world. They called it “The Day After” and anyone who’s surveyed their house, and especially their kitchen, the day after Thanksgiving has lived it. You think you’ll never eat again but by the next afternoon familiar hunger pangs kick in and you’re headed…
