COVER Bayou by Melissa Martin

I learned so much within the pages of chef Melissa M. Martin’s second cookbook, Bayou: Feasting Through the Seasons of a Cajun Life (Artisan), which came out in fall 2024. The follow up to her award-winning Mosquito Supper Club cookbook (Artisan, 2020) drops you right into the heart of the bayou communities where Martin grew up, where boucheries and Cajun cookoffs punctuate the seasons, and water surrounds and impacts all.
