My name is Cindy Maraist Gioe. I was born and raised in Morgan City, La and I now live in Slidell, La. Although I moved away after High School, my Hometown roots still run very deep. In the mid-1990’s, I remember watching my daddy, Buzzy Maraist, “stirring the pot” until his Roux was the perfect color, and this is when my passion for cooking began. I learned everything I know about cooking the perfect Roux from him.
