AMAZING! My first time making gumbo, but it turned out great. We did a few substitutions, including boudin and chicken instead of sausage. Thanks so much!

Please thank your brother Joerg for this delicious gumbo recipe!! We really loved all of the vegetables that are in it and the perfect blend of spices. I used Cajun andouille sausage which added an authentic flavor. My family devoured this soup and gave it 2 HUGE thumbs up!! Thank you for sharing this wonderful recipe...it is definitely a keeper!!

Very busy nanny/au pair, working for a very rich and snooty family, in a very large home, in a very snooty village. Just in case my employer comes here, please don't ask where I am from, or I'll be sacked like the last nanny was. ;-) I take care of 4 gorgeous, and darling kids. 3 girls and a boy. The boy is the youngest (and my favorite). They are great children, very, very active. (Hyper) I love to cook. I guess that's a given, why else would I be here. Part of my job is also to prepare meals for the family. The more they like my food, the longer I get to stay. (just a little joke) On my day off, I usually go out to the cinema or some dance clubs with the other au pairs in this town. That's about it I think.
