CHEF RYAN BOUDREAUX SAYS:

"Over the years I have collected some 300+ cookbooks and food related reference material as well there must be over a dozen or so notebooks, binders, and folders chock full of typed and hand written recipes, procedures and management techniques from the various restaurants and institutions that I worked in over my 37 years in the restaurant industry. And then there are the family favorites that I must say are becoming a lost legacy as the years go by, another project is to capture those recipes and preserve them for future generations."
