  1. I loved this recipe. I should say first that, being Australian, this was the 1st gumbo I've ever eaten so I had no expectations. I will absolutely be making this again. This is a terrific dish if you're dieting - it's satisfying, spicy, and delicious. I used almost all the proper ingredients according to the recipe. I don't think we have collard greens in Australia - we do have okra but since I had nearly all the listed ingredients at home, I used 1 large chopped carrot and a can of corn kernels to add some vegetable content instead - this is probably a form of blasphemy to a Cajun but it was delicious anyway. Highly recommended.

I'm lucky to have had two amazing grandmothers with a passion for cooking.My Nona was from the north of Italy and Lolo was from Spain. Lolo used to make pickle fish. You would think that is a kids worst nightmare, but it was fabulous. I would kill for that recipe.My mother was also a wonderful cook. I grew up eating the most amazing food; her lasagna and Bolognese sauce are out of this world. I am originally from Argentina and living in Colorado for the past 25 years. As you can imagine, I love to cook, eat and entertain. I read cookbooks like novels. There is nothing that I enjoy more than traveling. I love the challenge of a new culture and a foreign language. Of course all my traveling is culinary oriented. Eventually I would love to move to Italy. Italians, in my opinion, have the perfect life style; Hard work in the morning, good food for lunch, nice siesta and out for a "giro" (go for a round) in the afternoons to visit with your friends over a cup of coffee. My daughter is a great baker; she has a natural talent for it. We can make the exact same recipe and hers ALWAYS tastes much better. My favorite products are seasonal, organic and fresh; I stay away from cans and pre-mixed stuff. I'm a proud member of the Slow Food movement. www.slowfood.com
