    I was fortunate to have my first bowl of Gumbo in true Creole country, New Orleans. It doesn't get much better than that! There are many different versions of gumbo and some recipes are closely guarded "family secret recipes". My version of Chicken Sausage Gumbo was inspired by Marcelle Bienvenu, a great Cajun chef. Spice it up as much or as little as you like.

    Chicken Sausage Gumbo

    The most important step in making a terrific gumbo is preparing the roux. The roux must be constantly stirred until it attains that perfect dark brown color.  This usually takes about 30 minutes.
