Governor's Office of Culture, Recreation and Tourism to lend his image and recipes to the State's "Come Fall In Love With My Louisiana" advertising inserts featured in Gourmet Magazine. As the official "Turkey Ambassador" for LouAna, Peanut Oil Chef Mould was featured in hundreds of newspaper articles touting the virtues of Cajun Fried Turkey for tailgating and holiday gatherings.

“Our greatest asset in Louisiana is our cultural and ethnic diversity. The Acadian, French, Spanish, African, Italian and Native American influences on our style of cooking has made it one of the most historically significant regional cuisine's in America. I can't imagine myself cooking or living anywhere else.” - Chef Patrick Mould - Gourmet Magazine

“Known as a television personality, cultural ambassador, cooking teacher, cookbook author, restaurant consultant, food writer, corporate spokesperson, and culinary innovator, Chef Patrick Mould has contributed much to the culinary landscape of Acadiana.” - Our Louisiana Magazine 2011

“For my gastro-historical road trip I called an old Cajun friend, Patrick Mould, a chef and culinary educator in Lafayette. If there is a spicy slice of tasso to be sampled, or a sweet crawfish to be cracked, he has it covered.” - Bryan Miller, New York Times

“He's a great chef with a lot of credibility, and he's excellent on TV,” says Brian Pia, who represents LouAna Foods." - Chile Pepper Magazine

Chef Patrick Mould’s recipe is the very spirit of Louisiana’s cookery. To perfectly fried catfish fillets he adds the lagniappe of a shrimp sauce, good enough to stand on its own spooned over white rice. Many regional recipes begin with “make a roux,” and this one is no exception. The sauce base is built with the Louisiana “holy trinity” — onion, celery, and bell pepper. And yes, there’s a bit of Tabasco in there, too.

Chef Patrick Mould gives his bread pudding a pedigree. The Acadians were French immigrants who, driven from Canada by the British, settled in Louisiana. Their descendants are today’s Cajuns. This very traditional bread pudding comes with lagniappe: Roasted Pecan-Rum Sauce, meltingly delicious when scooped over bread pudding hot from the oven — and just as good served cold.
