Louisiana Down Home Cooking
“If it ain't homemade, it ain't worth scratch!”
Made From Scratch. Always.
The holy trinity, a cast-iron skillet, and time.
The REAL Creole Soul cooks the dishes of Louisiana tradition by hand, from the dark roux to the last snowfall of powdered sugar. We're a pickup kitchen: every bit of care goes into the pot and into your hands.
A taste of what's simmering.
A deep, dark roux built by hand, rich with the holy trinity and soul-warming spice.
Bold, savory rice cooked down with Creole spices until every grain is full of flavor.
Custardy, cinnamon-warm bread pudding drenched in buttery pecan praline sauce.
Pillowy fried dough, hand-cut and buried under a snowfall of powdered sugar.
Creole Soul’s goal is not only to serve what we consider to be the hallmark of culinary creations. Our goal is also to provide the ultimate shock to the palate that transcends the mere necessity of eating.
— Chef Carroll Hawkins, Jr.
Founder & Executive Chef
Every pot that leaves this kitchen carries a family way of cooking: the slow roux, the holy trinity chopped by hand, the bread pulled warm from the oven. Recipes like these aren't measured so much as remembered.
That's the promise behind The REAL Creole Soul: no shortcuts, no boxes, no cans. Just honest Creole and Southern cooking, made from scratch and ready for you to take home.
