Meet a local culinary talent

Helana Brigman’s blog, Clearly Delicious offers readers recipes daily that live up to the title’s claim. Now, thanks to LSU Press, her recipes have been gathered in a book, The Fresh Table: Cooking in Louisiana All Year Round. A native of Maine, Brigman has divided her book by season, so local, fresh ingredients can easily be found. This LSU gal can dish up everything from crawfish to coastal lobster, and, with her guidance, you can do the same. On Saturday at 12:15, Brigman will prepare fare from her book during a complimentary cooking demo at Red Stick Spice Co. Call 930-9967 to reserve seating.
