Chef Jeremy Langlois:
"Community Coffee is a Baton Rouge based company, and is the largest
family-owned coffee company in America. It is one of the true flavors of the
south and surprisingly using it as a marinade for lamb enhances with subtle
flavors of the meat."

A Retreat Fit for a Princess
As seen by the eyes of Princess Grace
I love Summer! So many exciting things happen on the grounds of Houmas House Plantation and Gardens this season. Of course the grounds are bursting with color, there are thousands of birds and squirrels to watch, and happy tourists everywhere. But that's not my favorite part.
You see, since the early 1800's, the owners of Houmas House have always had a townhouse in the city of New Orleans where they live during the Fall and Winter months. But every summer the whole family, my ancestors included, would retreat to the "summer house" or plantation for the summer. Here they would grow fresh fruits and vegetables, plant sugarcane, and enjoy the cooler, less crowded surroundings of the country. And today, not much has changed. There are fruit trees full of satsumas and limes, lush vegetable gardens with an abundance of tomatoes, peppers, mint and spices. The alley of oaks channels the cool breeze from the nearby Mississippi River and also gives us shade all day. Summer days are spent lounging under the three-hundred year old oak trees and frolicking with my family from the city. It's a princess' dream!
You know, we're not the only ones who enjoy the break from city life. Thousands of tourists from all over the world come to Houmas House to be a part of plantation life- even if just for a day. They love to hear stories of the wealth and grandeur of "The Sugar Palace" or live a day in the life of a plantation mistress. So, complete your visit to New Orleans with a retreat fit for a princess. We'll treat you like royalty.
Love,
Princess Grace
