What the creator captured
Bon Appétit executive chef Meg Bickford demonstrates the meticulous process of building a perfect seafood gumbo at the landmark Commander's Palace. She emphasizes the importance of 'baby-sitting' a dark roux to achieve a deep nuttiness without burning it. Her approach focuses on layering flavors through a slow-simmered seafood stock and the traditional Cajun trinity of onions, peppers, and celery.
