Lucy Buffet Releases New Cookbook Gumbo Love

We are a fan of Lucy Buffett. Sister to Jimmy and the owner of the beloved destination restaurants, including LuLu's Destin, she won us over with her fun-loving personality, delicious meals and passion for supporting the Destin community. 

A delicious love letter to the Gulf Coast’s vibrant food culture, this summer Lucy released her second cookbook, "Gumbo Love."

The definitive guide to regional fare, interwoven with her philosophy of relaxation, freedom, gratitude, and enjoyment is a fun glimpse into Lucy's personality along with the delcious recipes.  Incorporating Caribbean, Cajun, Creole, Cuban, Mexican, and Old Florida influences, Lucy proves that the Gulf Coast has its own distinct flavors and traditions. 

Sharing over one hundred new recipes mixed with old classics, readers will find recipes for any social occasion, including gumbos, deep fried favorites, vegetables, salads, snacks and dips, libations, and desserts. Some of hte recipes you'll find in the book, include True Cajun Gumbo, Cuban-Style Shrimp Creole, Daddy’s Fried Chicken, Silver Queen Corn Salad, Mango Margarita, Southern Tres Leches, among many others. 

After reading/cooking from Gumbo Love, we think you'll be ready for a visit to Gulf Coast. We invite you to explore our vast selection of Destin vacation rentals online, including many that are a short drive from LuLu's Destin location. In addition, our new SIP or SHOP fall promotion provides and opporutnity to sample some of Lucy's delicious fare at LuLu's during your visit to the beach.
