Black-Eyed Peas With Andouille Sausage And Rice

Texas Caviar
Marinated for days with jalapeños, scallions and cilantro, black-eyed peas become “Texas caviar,” a spicy, tangy (if sloppy) dip for tortilla chips.

Oven-Roasted Oysters
In New York, as in most North American cities these days, oysters are relatively plentiful, whether they're harvested locally or flown in from afar. Open space for lighting bonfires, however, is in decidedly short supply, so we set about adapting the oyster roast's winning combination of extreme informality and indulgence to a city setting.

Boiled Dinner With Turnips And Ham Hocks

Fluffy Buttermilk-Mashed Potatoes
Buttermilk and a smidge of baking soda work together here to create an impossibly fluffy potato side dish. We like to finish ours with an extra pat of butter that melts into a golden pool while we set the table.

Henry Clay's Southern Mint Julep
In an age devoted to convenience and speed, the julep throws up some major hurdles. Although it contains only three ingredients -- sugar, bourbon and mint -- it requires time and patience to make. The drink requires large quantities of crushed ice. To lay the foundation for the drink, it is first necessary to muddle the sugar with a little bourbon and a few mint leaves. It should be served with two straws and garnished with a nice bush of mint, sprinkled with a little powdered sugar, please. And of course, you'll want to serve your juleps in a silver or pewter mug.

Commander's Palace Duck, Wild Mushroom And Andouille Filé Gumbo
This dish was part of a Thanksgiving meal improvised in New Orleans. The recipe includes classic southern Louisiana flavors, like andouille sausage. The filé is important, as it acts as a thickening agent. It is often used as an alternative to okra in gumbos.
