Meet the Author

Emeril Lagasse
Emeril Lagasse
Emeril Lagasse burst onto the cooking scene in 1993 with his mega-popular cooking show, Emeril Live, soon followed by the second and even more popular series, Essence of Emeril. A signature "Bam!" later, he released a series of bestselling cookbooks that reveal his tastiest techniques to wannabe chefs.

Biography

Chef Emeril Lagasse received his first culinary experience from his mother, Hilda, when he was a boy growing up in the small town of Fall River, Massachusetts. As a teenager, he worked at a Portuguese bakery where he mastered the art of bread and pastry baking. Upon high school graduation, Lagasse was offered a full scholarship to the New England Conservatory of Music, but decided to pursue a career as a professional chef. He earned his Doctorate degree through the culinary program at Johnson and Wales University. Lagasse then traveled to Paris and Lyon where he polished his skills and learned the art of classic French cuisine. Returning to the United States, Lagasse practiced his art in fine restaurants in New York, Boston and Philadelphia before heading south to the Big Easy. Lured to New Orleans by Dick and Ella Brennan, Lagasse established his star at their legendary restaurant, Commander's Palace, where he was executive chef for seven and a half years.

Lagasse is now the chef-proprietor of seven restaurants including three in New Orleans, two in Las Vegas, and two in Orlando. In 1990, Chef Emeril opened Emeril's Restaurant in the chic Warehouse District in downtown New Orleans. Two years later, he opened Nola Restaurant in the French Quarter. In 1995, Emeril brought his "New New Orleans" cooking to Las Vegas and opened Emeril's New Orleans Fish House, located in the monumental MGM Grand Hotel. In 1998, Lagasse opened Emeril's Delmonico Restaurant and Bar in New Orleans' historic Garden District. He opened two restaurants in 1999 -- in February, he headed down to Florida to open Emeril's Restaurant Orlando at Universal Studios City Walk and in May, he opened Delmonico Steakhouse is in the Venetian Resort/Hotel/Casino. In January 2003, he opened Emeril's Tchoup Chop (pronounced chop-chop) at Universal Orlando's Royal Pacific Resort. Emeril's Restaurant Atlanta is slated to open in summer 2003.

The recognition and awards he has garnered have made him known to food-loving Americans everywhere. His restaurants consistently win critical praise and top ratings. Emeril's Restaurant was dubbed "Restaurant of the Year" by John Mariani in Esquire magazine in 1990 and received the coveted Wine Spectator "Grand Award" in 1991. Also in 1991, Lagasse was named "Best Southeast Regional Chef" by the James Beard Foundation. Most recently, Emeril's Restaurant earned the prestigious Ivy Award. Nola has achieved the status of "Best New Restaurant" by Esquire magazine in 1993 and has been recognized nationally by Travel & Leisure, Traveler and Southern Living magazines. His third restaurant, Emeril's New Orleans Fish House was named "Best Restaurant in Las Vegas" by Zagats. In 2002, Delmonico Steakhouse was named "Best Steakhouse" by Las Vegas Life magazine. Lagasse himself has also received accolades and awards for his culinary expertise. In 1991, Lagasse was named "Best Southeast Regional Chef" by the James Beard Foundation. In 1998 he was chosen as "Chef of the Year" by GQ magazine. In 1999, he was named one of People magazine's "25 Most Intriguing People of the Year."

Chef Emeril Lagasse is a national TV personality. Lagasse joined the Food Network in 1993 and celebrated his 1000th show with the network in 2001. He is the host of both The Essence of Emeril and Emeril Live, which reaches over 75 million homes daily. The former has been nominated for two Emmy Awards in 2001, 2002 and 2003, and was voted by Time magazine as one of the "Top 10 TV Shows" during 1996. The latter has won a Cable Ace Award for "Best Informational Series." Chef Emeril is also the food correspondent for Good Morning America and appears every Friday morning.

Lagasse is also a bestselling author. In 1993 he published the bestselling cookbook Emeril's New New Orleans Cooking which introduced his creative approach to Creole cuisine. Six other books have followed including Louisiana Real and Rustic, Emeril's Creole Christmas, Emeril's TV Dinners, Every Day's A Party, Prime Time Emeril and the kids' cookbook, Emeril, There's A Chef in My Soup! In 2000, Lagasse's book sales exceeded two million.

In September 2002, Emeril established the Emeril Lagasse Foundation to support and encourage programs creating developmental and educational opportunities for children.

Smothered Veal Chops with Tasso Mushroom Gravy

Makes 4 servings

4 double-cut veal loin chops (12 to 14 ounces each)
4 teaspoons Creole Seasoning
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1/4 cup bleached all-purpose flour
2 medium-size yellow onions, thinly sliced (about 6 cups)
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon cayenne
1/2 pound assorted exotic mushrooms, such as shiitakes, chanterelles, and oysters, wiped clean and chopped (about 3 cups)
2 1/2 ounces tasso, chopped (about 1/2 cup)
1 tablespoon chopped garlic
2 1/2 cups Chicken Stock
1 tablespoon choppedfresh parsley leaves
3 tablespoons chopped green onions (scallions), green parts only
1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Season the chops with the Creole Seasoning, rubbing it in evenly.

Heat the oil in a large saute pan over medium heat. Sear the chops until golden brown but not charred, 5 to 6 minutes, and turn over. Sear for 3 minutes on the second side for rare, or 5 minutes for medium-rare. Remove from the heat and transfer the chops to a heated platter.

Add the flour to the skillet and whisk until the mixture is smooth. Return to the heat. Cook, stirring constantly until the mixture is the color of chocolate, about 3 minutes. Add the onions, salt, and cayenne and cook for 2 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the mushrooms, tasso, and garlic and cook, stirring, for 2 minutes. Add the stock, bring the mixture to a gentle boil, and simmer for about 2 minutes. Return the chops to the pan and simmer for 5 minutes, basting often, Remove from the heat and stir in the parsley, green onions, and black pepper.

Serve the chops warm with the pan gravy.

StockingTip: Tasso is a heavily seasoned smoked ham used often in Louisiana for flavoring vegetables, stews, gumbos, and sauces. It can be found in some supermarkets. Spiced ham can be substituted.

Chocolate Macadamia Nut Brittle

Makes about 1 1/4 Pounds

3 cups semisweet chocolate chips (about 1 pound)
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
One 4.5-ounce can macadamia nuts (about 1 cup)

Line a baking sheet with parchment or waxed paper.

Put the chocolate chips and 1 tablespoon of the butter in a stainless steel bowl set over a pot of simmering water over medium heat. Stirring, melt the chocolate, about 5 minutes.

Heat the remaining tablespoon butter in a small skillet over medium-high heat. Add the nuts and shake the pan often to lightly toast them, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the nuts to the chocolate and cook, stirring the mixture often, until the chocolate is completely melted and the nuts are well coated, about 5 minutes.

Pour the chocolate mixture into the pan and spread it evenly with a rubber spatula over the bottom, making a 4-inch-thick layer. Cool. Refrigerate until it sets, about 2 hours.

Break it into pieces, like peanut brittle. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator. It will keep up to 2 weeks.

Interviews & Essays

Q:  In your opinion, what makes the Christmas season unique in New Orleans?

A:<%=xfonttexthead%>  What makes New Orleans unique during the holiday season are the years of tradition and the ways that people celebrate: carriage rides in the French Quarter, the carousel in City Park, Christmas in the Oaks, and the big family Christmas Eve church gatherings. The uniqueness is that it all goes back to the family.

Q:  What was the best New Orleans-style holiday meal you ever had?

<%=fonttexthead%>A:<%=xfonttexthead%>  The Creole Christmas Book explains it all. There are so many holiday foods and memories, which is why I chose to write Creole Christmas.

Q:  Would you rather celebrate New Year's Eve in New York City or in New Orleans? Why?

A:  In New Orleans. Although New York is very exciting, we have a similar version in the French Quarter. Personally, New Year's Eve is a special evening to cook special food for guests.

Q:  Do you open gifts Christmas Eve or Christmas morning?

A:  Both.

Q:  How do you feel about being the first repeat guest in barnesandnoble.com's author Auditorium?

A:  It's very exciting, with all the special people I have met being associated with barnesandnoble.com. I think it's a sure indication, starting with the owners, of why it is a successful, quality organization.

    Excellent Menu Ideas!!

    We prepared the FULL Christmas Even Menu. The highlights were the horseradish crusted beef tenderloin and the exotic mushroom bread pudding, but - truly - everything was WONDERFUL! Naturally we put our family spin on a few of the recipies - everything was full of flavor. Added bonus - it all plated beautifully!

    great dishes made for a tasty Thanksgiving

    It was difficult to choose a dish as they all looked great. Having seen Emeril on TV, I was interested in trying some of his creations - this book did not disappoint, results were great and I will be making more food with this book. Thanksgiving meal had: Exotic Mushroom Bread Pudding, Banana Cream Pie (which was about as good as the one I sampled at the Orlando location) Oyster & Eggplant Stuffing and Andouille & Corn Meal Spoon Bread. Sure, there are a few steps involved with the dishes, but then, that's what cooking is about. It makes me wonder about those reviewers who complain about that aspect of the recipies. Instruction is quite adequate,that is if you are somewhat familiar with cooking. The beauty of this book is the tempting selection. I certainly don't expect this nor other books of his be 'authentic New Orleans cooking' and they don't really claim to be, but this book and at least 'Every Day's a Party' are interesting interpretations of dishes with a bit of fun. Lighten up and enjoy. If you want Cordon Bleu, well, don't get this. If you want to indulge, the Emeril books are quite fun. Don't count calories!!!!
