“Marigny Menu” A Collection of Current and Vintage Recipes Compiled in honor of the 175th Anniversary of St. Paul Lutheran Church and School – New Orleans, LA 1840 - 2015 1 Foreword In 2015, St. Paul Lutheran Church and School celebrated its 175 year anniversary. Our theme was “Love Alive at 175” and our Bible verse was “We love because He first loved us.” (1 John 4:19) There were quarterly events focusing on “CELEBRATE EDUCATION,” “CELEBRATE MUSIC,” “CELEBRATE FAITH,” and “CELEBRATE ARTS & COMMUNITY.” Four teams of congregational members, along with a fifth team to coordinate communication and media, all worked together with amazing and incredible results. A “Love Alive” drive collected love offerings throughout the year. With the spiritual guidance of our own Pastor Kevin Kieschnick along with invaluable church and school staff members, the year of 2015 will long be remembered. This cookbook is a small memento of the year. A hearty thanks to all our chef contributors! A similar cookbook was published in 1980 to mark the 140th Anniversary. We have included some 1980 “Vintage Recipes” as many in the New Orleans area lost that edition to Hurricane Katrina in 2005. We hope you will enjoy preparing and consuming many of these wonderful dishes in the “Marigny Menu” from the past and present! May you continue enjoying them long into the future!
