  • About
New Orleans has this air of confidence about it. It knows it’s fun, it’s liberal, that it has history and traditions and defining flavours. In New Orleans, if you survived the hurricane and came back to the city, if you know how to dance with abandon at a street party and if you know the key ingredients that go into gumbo and jambalaya, you’re all united.

Anne is an incarnation of her city. She was cool, calm and permanently on the verge of saying something cheeky. While her friend Harriet would recount a story, Anne was on hand to confirm facts and add the odd anecdote; hilarious asides added with the driest of deliveries. That Anne was head and shoulders taller than Harriet only added to their catching hilarity, particulalry when performing their flambé Bananas Foster routine.
