One of the perennial favorite recipes from River Road Recipes I: A Textbook of Louisiana Cuisine, of course, is the Spinach Madeleine. A time-honored culinary tradition no longer limited to just the Baton Rouge area, it may well be that no single recipe has ever reached such national acclaim as our own beloved Spinach Madeleine. In celebration of the 80th reprint of River Road Recipes I coinciding with the 85th birthday of the Junior League of Baton Rouge, local newspaper The Advocate published an article interviewing Madeline Nevell Reymond Wright, the creator of the recipe. Check out the original article featuring Ms. Spinach Madeleine, herself, here!
