Meet the Authors of EULA MAE'S CAJUN KITCHEN - Cooking through the seasons on Avery Island
Eula Mae Doré grew up in the small rural community of Coteau in south Louisiana. After her mother's death in 1942, at age 10, she helped her father raise her two brothers and her sister. In 1949, she married Walter Doré and they moved to Avery Island where she has worked and lived since. She is a self-taught cook who was determined to duplicate the local Cajun dishes that her mother and grandmother prepared when she was a child.
