Summary: Every ten years, card carrying Cajuns are forced to traverse by skiff the uncharted backwaters of Lake Ponchartrain to renew their culture licenses. Upon reaching the Department of Cajun Heritage, they encounter old-timers with names like Sibedeaux, Gastineaux and Robeshaw who have been drinking Dixie beer and playing accordions continuously since they turned eight years of age. Before these dignified pillars of Louisiana heritage, the expired Cajun must prepare a bowl of gumbo, not just any bowl, but one fit for dinner tables in such Cajun strongholds as Cottonport and Alexandria. Shouldthis gumbo fail to impress the eaux's and shaw's of this world, the humiliated cook is immediately exported. Back to Quebec? Back to France? No outsider can be sure, though by the light of a full moon visitors to the bayou have witnessed intimate conversations between wild-eyed Cajuns and alligators with thick accents.

Karl James has not only passed the stringent gumbo renewal test multiple times, the DCH has frequently ordered food from his catering company during lulls in the application process. So follow this free video series as he guides you through each step of preparing a genuine gumbo feastfit for a Cajun.
