“My mother was a great cook and published a cookbook of Cajun recipes called From Mama to Me. Her cookbook was reprinted three times but unfortunately is now out of print. One of her favorite holiday recipes is Bourbon-Chocolate Balls, and we try to keep a frozen supply in our freezer year-round.” - Peter
