Introducing Boo Macomber: a captivating storyteller, legendary cook, and guide to Louisiana’s marshlands. Known for her infectious humor, extensive fishing knowledge, and boundless generosity, Boo has drawn people to her sanctuary, Camp Peace, for decades. To visit her, though, requires a boat—befitting her life spent immersed in the bayous, bays, and open waters of the Gulf. Boo’s journey began in the 1970s, when she settled in the French Quarter after backpacking through Europe. Raised in Abbeville by a Sicilian mother and Cajun father, Boo’s culinary style is a vivid blend of Cajun, Italian, and Creole influences. Her freezer overflows with the treasures of her kitchen: gumbo, shrimp stew, grillades, roux-based dirty rice, and more. “If it’s too damned hot to do anything else, I cook. Too cold, I cook,” she says, embodying the joy and resilience of Louisiana culture. In her 2009 cookbook and memoir, *Tastes, Tails & Tales with the High Priestess of the Bayou*, Boo shares tales from Camp Peace and recipes infused with local flavor. Boo Macomber’s book bring readers closer to Louisiana’s culinary heart, making each dish and story a cherished piece of bayou life.
