Mutineer Magazine Issue 12

I’m a little late in posting this, but better late than never I guess. The latest issue of Mutineer Magazine is in stores right now and is spectacular. In this issue my column is on cocktail bites inspired by the flavors of Louisiana which include; Cajun Spiced Pecans that are highly addictive,  a decadent Crawfish Mousse in Wonton Cups, the Scotch Egg inspired Cajun Quail Eggs covered in Louisiana pork boudin and the insanely delicious Gumbo Empanadas. It was a fun column to develop and luckily turned out incredibly tasty.

Also, I should tell those of you who are interested that this week Mutineer is offering a pretty sizable discount on one and two year subscriptions.  http://www.mutineermagazine.com/subscribe/

I’ll have a new post for you on Friday!!

Cheers,
