About this time last year I found myself unexpectedly in New Orleans. I’d never been, in fact it was never on the top of my to-do list, and yet suddenly I had an entire week to live like a local right off the French Quarter. Charmed doesn’t begin to describe how I feel about that city. It’s enchanting, mysterious and full of unexpected surprises…it is intoxicating, even if you choose not to walk around cross eyed with a 5 foot frozen hurricane.

Where there are too many highlights to list – a favorite moment, and one that I would repeat twice on my visit, was escaping the thick humid air and sitting at the bar of the Napoleon House over a cold Pimms Cup…and a crisp shrimp Remoulade salad.

It’s impossible to try and replicate that experience back home, so I was inspired to re-create the experience with a playful Los Angeles twist… infusing bold Korean flavors with some french ideas… and you best believe there’s kimchi involved.

The Negroni cocktail has exploded over this past year becoming an eye-roll worthy trendy drink. I’ve been enjoying this cocktail for years and you can’t turn me away from it’s bitter bite. A favorite variation is the “White Negroni”, which swaps out Campari with a French bitter aperitif, Suze. It’s a surprisingly refreshing update and perfectly paired to cut down on the heat of the Remoulade Cups. Get perfectly matching recipe here.

  1. Kimchi Cucumbers were purchased at a local Korean Market in the deli section – if you would like to make your own, simply go about the traditional kimchi methods, replacing Napa cabbage with cucumber. There are a bunch of recipes online – have fun with it!
