A Cajun chef living in New Orleans, Melissa Martin is the founder of Mosquito Supper Club, a tribute to the food of her childhood. We couldn’t think of anyone better to share the ingredients of a real Cajun pantry — and she couldn’t think of anyone better than her mama.
I’m on the phone with my mom. She’s in Chauvin, in my childhood home on Bayou Petite Calliou. She’s been married to my dad for 48 years and she raised six kids in a ranch-style house on Delta land. I’m asking her questions about her Cajun pantry. I know most of our items will be the same, but I want to hear her perspective. She is my touchstone and I can’t think of anyone I love or trust more to keep Cajun real.
