The stories, flavors, and traditions of bayou life. Named a Best New Cookbook by Bon Appetit, Food & Wine, Saveur, NPR, the Washington Post, and more.

 

Melissa M. Martin grew up on the Louisiana coast and has lived in New Orleans for twenty years. After Hurricane Katrina, she relocated to Northern California and worked at some of the top Napa Valley restaurants, honing her self-taught culinary skills. Upon returning to New Orleans, she helped to open Satsuma Cafe, a casual farm-to-table restaurant, and worked at Cafe Hope, a non-profit restaurant, teaching at-risk youth to cook. In 2014, she opened Mosquito Supper Club, where she serves a family-style Cajun dinner with a glimpse into life on the bayou. She's made it her life's work to support local fisherman and farmers and to run a sustainable restaurant.
