I had the pleasure of working with Marcelle for a few years in a support role while working at Emeril&#8217;s Homebase, LLC in New Orleans, she was a culinary writer and contributor for many of Emeril&#8217;s books and web content, I was an IT tech and on occasion I got to help her with technical PC issues both at work and home.<\/p>\n<p>It was refreshing to hear her voice again as I recalled my own endeavor to document the rich culinary heritage from our family and my 21 years of restaurant experience.<\/p>\n<p>The book is the result of a response to the post-Katrina community pulling together lost recipes through the New Orleans Times-Picayune newspaper food section entitled &#8220;<a title=\"Exchange Alley Link\" href=\"http:\/\/blog.nola.com\/judywalker\/exchange_alley_recipe_exchange\/\" target=\"_blank\">Exchange Alley<\/a>&#8221; where folks traded lost and found recipes.
