Did you know…..

It is believed that pralines were brought over from France by the Ursuline nuns, who came to New Orleans in 1727. They were in charge of the casket girls, young women sent over from France at the request of Bienville to marry New Orleans’ colonists. They were called Casket Girls (les Filles a la Casette) because each came to the city furnished with a casket-box filled with all their worldly possessions. They were distinguished from other women coming to New Orleans because they were hand-picked from orphanages and convent schools and charged to the Church to be molded into women of high morals, despite their less-fortunate circumstances of origin. The nuns instructed the casket girls to be upstanding women in society as well as good wives to the settlers, and in the course of their scholastic and domestic educations, the girls were taught the art of praline making. Eventually the casket girls were married off and began to settle throughout New Orleans and around southern Louisiana, and their culinary education combined with local traditions become the foundations of the famous creole cuisine we know today.

It’s an art! To create the perfect creamy, melt-in-your-mouth praline (pronounced praw-lean), is not just the right ingredients, but timing! Knowing when to turn the heat off, when to stop stirring and when to start “dropping” is the key. Too soon and you have sticky puddles——too late and you have rock hard hockey pucks! Biting into a perfectly “timed” praline leaves a taste of south Louisiana in your mouth that is undeniable.
