Writers & Readings

Good travel writing has wings and the ability to transport us, word by word, tale by tale. It introduces us to the people and places that make travel—and, one could argue, life itself—worthwhile. Good travel writing is, in a word, magic. Not only does it show us the world, it helps us define our place within it.

HI-ENEC's Writers and Readings series to takes you on a globe-spanning literary journey that celebrates the world around us and will hopefully serve to spark ideas for your next travel experience. Learn more about our upcoming events below:

Susan Spicer will talk about her cookbook, "Crescent City Cooking: Unforgettable Recipes from Susan Spicer's New Orleans", a treat for fans of the chef's mix of Southern and international dishes served at her French Quarter restaurant, Bayona.

Our in-store book signing and reception will include a brief Q&A period during which Susan will answer questions about her cooking history prior to Bayona's opening, Bayona, gulf coast cuisine post-Katrina, writing the cookbook, ways that we can all support NOLA and other topics. There will be an opportunity to talk informally with Susan before and after the Q&A, which will begin shortly after 6:00 p.m.

One of New Orleans's culinary stars and a James Beard award winner, Susan Spicer has been indulging Crescent City diners at the highly acclaimed restaurants, Bayona and Herbsaint, for years. Now, in her long-awaited cookbook, Spicer brings her signature dishes to the home cook's table.

"Crescent City Cooking" features over 170 recipes, ranging from traditional New Orleans dishes (Cornmeal-Crusted Crayfish Pies and Cajun-Spiced Pecans) to twists on down-home cuisine (Smoked Duck Hash in Puff Pastry with Apple Cider Sauce; Grilled Shrimp with Black Bean Cakes and Coriander Sauce) and, of course, a recipe for Gumbo z'Herbes (Green Gumbo with Oysters).
