Sara Roahen’s work has appeared in Tin House, Oxford American, and Food & Wine magazines. She and her husband moved back to New Orleans in 2008.
"[This] deeply informed and plainly heartfelt investigation into New Orleans' finest food traditions taps into a cornucopia of cultural riches." -- Elle "An endearing collection of stories from the seven years [Sara Roahen] spent in the Crescent City, learning to embrace its unapologetically decadent cuisine. It is part culinary history, part memoir and part homage to places that have since been erased." -- Salon "Informative, engaging and amusing ... Gumbo Tales has the not-surprising effect of leaving the reader's mouth watering." -- Jonathan Yardley - Washington Post "This is the book to lead you, rejoicing, to your favorite restaurant, or fire up that kitchen stove to make a batch of gumbo for your mama 'n' dem. This book is a joy to read, a pleasure to pass along, a book to treasure. It leaves you hungry in your body, satisfied in your soul." -- New Orleans Times-Picayune
