Join us on Saturday, August 4th 2007 at St. Anna’s Episcopal Church for music, food tasting (delicious, traditional local Sicilian recipes), and a lively panel discussion with the neighborhood chefs, Meryl Leiva & Liz Williams, which seeks to capture the culinary legacy of Sicilian women in New Orleans and how they adapted their cooking to the creole ways.
The food tasting will include:
- Margie’s Sicilian Lasagna (a tasty, traditional way to deal with those pesky leftovers)
- St. Joseph Day Fig Cookies (What would a St Joseph Day altar be without them?)
- Sicilian American “Devilish” Eggs (A delectable example of the assimilation and adaption of everyone’s favorite party snack)
It’s going to be a great day to celebrate the cultural & culinary tradition of the historical Treme!
Also, Treme’s Cookin’ has three more events planned for 2007. Three more days of food, music and fun. Remember: all the food is traditional food that comes from the gifted cooks in Treme.
- Gumbo Cook-Off on Sunday, September 9 2007:
- A chance for neighborhood chefs to compete for prizes. No matter who win the competition, we all win with all those delicious gumbos
- Beans! on October Sunday, October 14 2007:
- A celebration of that everyday meal that’s always a cause for celebration: Red Beans and Rice
- A Seafood Holiday on Saturday, November 10 2007:

As always, we searching out a few good men and women to volunteer at the event. If you’d like to, please email info@tremescookin.org . Your help will be appreciated!
