How to make New Orleans Gumbo
Вставка
- Опубліковано 1 бер 2015
- Charlie, Native of New Orleans (BORN AND RAISED) demonstrates in GREAT detail on how to make a Delicious and rich Gumbo. This Gumbo has Shrimp, Crabs, Smoked Sausage, Hot Sausage, Gizzards and it even has OKRA in it. In this video I will take you step by step. From making the roux, to making your stocks, to chopping up all of your seasonings and meat, to cleaning and preparing your seafood, to frying and searing your smoked sausage and hot sausage, to frying out the slime in your okra, to making the actual gumbo, cooking times etc. This is the Ultimate Gumbo video everyone. DON'T BE FOOLED BY IMITATORS. I am home to where Gumbo was born LOUISIANA. I grew up watching my family make Gumbo. I even worked at a restaurant that makes Gumbo. I really worked hard to make this video possible! Hope you all will be willing to give this a try!

I’m here in the grocery store in Columbus Ohio listing to this recipe and an older lady asked me.. “is that Charlie?”… your known sir. Take a bow
Wow bro that's cool. Ha ha ha. lol Thank you for sharing!!
You are amazing cook for sure
@@brendasollers5252Thank you!
A popular New Orleans restaurant chef once stated on a local news show; "Some of the best cooks we have in the city are right here in our own homes". Charlie is solid proof!
Yes you are definitely right about that. Quote from the great Paul Prudhomme! Thanks so much! :D
@@CharlieTheCookAndrews You and my mother Loved Chef Paul Prudhomme. We used to laugh at her talking about Chef Paul Prudhomme. She loved him. I don't think he had Spices back then. My Mother Glossie B. Marshall could make some gumbo. Her secret was Shredded and Dried Shrimp and of course Gumbo File. Without Gumbo Filet there's no Gumbo.....Also just like you she could cook a lot of food in a small space. Happy New Year to you.... Charlie.
@@twielajones384 Yes absolutely. He didn't come out with his seasonings until the 2010's or a little before then. You are right about that. Gumbo ain't Gumbo without the File in there. Happy New Year to you as well. :)
That's right that's where all the best food is i always tell people that ❤
Say That! 😊
Dude you are the Bob Ross of Cajun cooking. Soft spoken, skilled in your craft, and always smiling. It’s easy to see that you are truly passionate about cooking and I appreciate that about you.
I appreciate the compliments, Dillon! Thank you!
Texas. My brother can make Gumbo. But he said he's going to make your way. You make your instructions really easy. Thank you
@@anthonypickens3557 Texans try to make roux by baking flour in the oven. It's not the same
@Charlie Andrews I'm late to the video but if I use chicken drumsticks when would you add them. Thanks
@lorne gant season and sear the chicken first then make the stock. Separate the meat from the bones and add the meat into the Gumbo at the end. Hope this helps. Thanks!
He cooks from the heart AND soul. 5 years later and this video is still relevant. Classic recipe.
I appreciate the compliments Kentavia. Thanks so much! :)
5 years later and this is still the best gumbo making video on UA-cam.
I appreciate the compliment. Thank you! :)
it really is
I just happened on this video this mrng. It's a lot of prep and cooking. The result was on point and I'm going to try my hand next weekend! I love how you prepared everything and washed your ingredients! This is a must try!!
This is like 7 years later and it still the very beat gumbo recipie online!!❤❤
8 years, still the best.
My family is from Louisiana and when I showed my grandma this video, she said “son bon, he did us proud.” Now I’m hungry 😁
Awesome that is good to hear! Stamp of approval from your grandmother. Thank so much! :)
I made this gumbo yesterday to serve today for Thanksgiving and my husband absolutely loved it.
I wish everyone could see the look on his face when he tasted all the concentrated flavors.
He looked like he wanted to slam his fist on the table.
This is not my first gumbo and my gumbo was good before but this one right here is the best I've ever made, the best video I've seen, and I know that the more I practice this method the better it will be.
A couple tips for those thinking about making this quicker or easier...DON'T.
It took me about 14 hours to make this gumbo and I would not do anything to cut down on the time. And I enjoyed every minute.
-The shellfish and chicken broths are worth the wait
-Boiling the seasonings and broths with the roux is worth the wait
-Peeling and deveining head on tail on shrimp is worth the Labor
-frying the sausage is worth it
Etc
This is not supposed to to be cheap or easy
Hey there! I am happy to hear that the Gumbo was a success and that your husband enjoyed it! I appreciate the tips and your insights you've added about your experience in making this recipe. It takes a lot of time but worth the hard work and preparation. Thanks for sharing and for leaving feedback! :)
Totally agree!
Awesome
I’m
"He looked like he wanted to slam his fist on the table."
Hahaha! Ain't no joke 😂
I’m from New Orleans. This is encyclopedic. What a great tutorial and what a wonderful preservation of our culture for the future. I’m so glad you are making these videos. I appreciate all the hours of work you put in.
I appreciate the compliments. Thanks Anita!
period!! I come back to this video often
That brother aint playing with that gumbo
Brandon Nelson Yes us New Orleans people don't play with their Gumbo! :)
My White ass made this and blows people’s mind 😂
@@goonn337 You've missed that part if the video because I did add the roux in there. 🙂
@@CharlieTheCookAndrews I seen it my bad
@@goonn337 you good!
By far the BEST and most authentic gumbo video on UA-cam. I'm from Louisiana and you did us proud!
Yes you know I had to represent NOLA and show'em how it's REALLY made! :) Yes this video is becoming one of the best on youtube.
+Amber Lewis and +Charlie "The Cook" Andrews....I agree because corn in the gumbo ain't gon' cut it!! I was so proud just watching. Good Job Sir!!!
LaBtrfly09 Thanks. It's sure not. You should see some of the stuff they put in a their so called Gumbo. Yuk lol
lol
Fareal go check out those videos lol
I was born and raised in NOLA and Charlie does authentic NOLA cooking. He is my 'go to' when I'm looking for a recipe. I have raised my 23 year old son by myself and one of our favorite weekend pastimes is to select a Chef Charlie Andrews video, go make groceries, and then build the recipe together. IMO, cooking and breaking bread together has been some of the greatest bonding experiences of father and son. Thanks Chef Charlie. We love ya brother.
Wow that is awesome and good to hear that you and your son enjoy my videos! Thanks so much for sharing!
How nice 😊
That's so nice ❤
My grandfather was from Louisiana and I’ve always wanted to learn how to make authentic Louisiana Gumbo. This was the best video I’ve discovered. Thank you for 6 hours of a labor of love and sharing your recipe with the world. God Bless!
That is good to hear. I appreciate the compliments and for sharing your story. Thanks so much!!
New Orleans native born and raised that's how it's done
Hi Charlie, I am a private chef and I was asked by clients to make a real Gumbo- I hardly new what it was until I started looking for a video to demystify it. I enjoyed watching your video very much- it was very clear, detailed, very well edited! and great sound. Was actually very nice and relaxing to watch you cook a dish you obviously know so well :) Then I followed the recipe and method (I made a huge pot) for more than 20 people. I was pretty spot on with everything but I left out the okra as per request. It really tasted amazingly great- and my guests were blown away by how good it was. Many thanks for taking the time and grace to share your knowledge. I'm also so happy to have learnt a new dish! :9 Bless
Wow! It's crazy to see that even I can teach a chef a thing or two about cooking! That it amazing! Thanks for all the compliments I really appreciate that! Happy to hear that the Gumbo turned out to be a success and that you learned something! You're welcome! I put a lot of hard work into this video! Thanks for leaving feedback!
Hi Charlie, i really enjoy watching you cook everything, especially that delicious seafood gumbo. Keep making those wonderful videos, you are teaching me a thing or two.

IT AIN'T GUMBO WITHOUT OKRA . . . .SORRY ! ! ! !
@@mikebrown1052 ...hate to tell you Mike but he had okra in there.
Thanks for posting that you didn't add the okra. O wondered if it was really necessary to add it because I don't like it either
"This is the BEST prep work and presentation of Gumbo that I have EVER seen." My hat's off to you, Chef Charlie!
Thanks so much for the compliments! This is one of my hardest worked on videos!
SeptiaWoman the real deal!!
Wow I was tired when he got done....my hats 👒 off
@@CharlieTheCookAndrews this is awesome Gumbo my Gumbo will never be the same m e after watching this. Yes Lord you did that thang!!!
Right!
I'm from Louisiana, I live right outside of New Orleans. Finding THIS video was PRICELESS! I made gumbo for the FIRST time ever this Christmas 12/25/2020 following this recipe and let me tell you...my family RAVED over it. We were ALL eating it like Charlie was at the end of the video LOL! This was & will ALWAY be a staple meal in my house. I made a few adjustments, like adding a can of Rotel, diced tomatoes & some chicken drummets. It was SO GOOD, my mother (who is very opinionated) has now designated ME to be the official Gumbo maker in the family...THAT'S A BIG HONOR coming from my mother! Thanks @charlieandrews you're THE BEST Hands Down ❤
Wow that's cool. Glad that you found this video. Wow that is amazing. She basically passed the torch to you. Very nice! You're welcome, not a problem. Glad I was able to help. Thanks for the compliments and for leaving feedback!
Good
Wow congrats! 🎉
Looks so delicious..Thanks for sharing
8 years later I still come back to this recipe for my gumbo every year! Thanks Charlie best gumbo on the World Wide Web!
Wow, that's awesome and good to hear. You're welcome, not a problem!!
i am a new orleans native too, thank gawd we finally got somebody who can represent US! Thank you suga
+mellybelly nola Oh good! What part of the city you're from? Yes I had to represent New Orleans. Had to show'em how to make a real New Orleans Gumbo!
Perfect! The only difference is that we also add chicken to ours.
The only real recipe on UA-cam
Thank you! I like the fact that you appreciate all the time and hard work i put into this video. I wanted it to be a step by step recipe. When it comes to making a gumbo it is important that you have all the directions in it so people can understand how it's made! Majority of the other recipes don't have that!
Charlie Andrews absolutely! There are some pretty horrible videos out there. I'm sharing this with others. Thank you for your hard work.
Lost Below The Fold Yes i saw some of them myself. It's sad because some of them add the incorrect types of ingredients. Plus majority of the recipes use some of shortcuts. My recipe is 100% from scratch especially my stocks I make and show you how to do in the video. I don't think no other recipe has that with both the chicken and seafood stocks made from scratch!
Charlie Andrews right! They don't add both stocks and they don't cook it nearly as long or in the right order. This is great!
Lost Below The Fold Yes and everyone should know that Gumbo has different cooking times depending on the size pot and quantity of gumbo you are making. Your stove can also affect the cooking times as well.
I’m from California and I’ve always went out and paid someone to make me gumbo until one my wife said why don’t you just make your own.i went online and found this video and I must say after all the preparations it’s the best gumbo I’ve ever had and for the past three years I’ve been making this same gumbo for family and and they absolutely love it.Thank You Charlie
That is awesome and good to hear that you all enjoy the Gumbo recipe! You're welcome. Thanks so much for sharing!
Still the standard for a gumbo recipe on UA-cam. HANDS DOWN!!! I’ve yet to see anything as detailed, and thorough. Great work!
Hey there! I appreciate the compliments. It's been 9 years. I can't believe it. lol Thanks!
When you named the ingredients I was like OH HE’S THE TRUTH!!! Now THAT’S how we make gumbo in the N.O.
You are right about that Catina! Thank you! :)
@@CharlieTheCookAndrews hi I know I’m about 5 years late but hopefully you answer aha how do I swap out the chicken gizzards for the chicken wings? My family usually has wings so just curious
Right!!! Then look, the hot water heater in the kitchen!!! Man we truly exotic down there. I live in Alabama now...trust me😉
My mama did wing too!
you wouldn't understand how much I appreciate this video.
Thanks so much! ☺ Feels good knowing that!
My husband and I fell in love with Gumbo when we had it at one of the finest steakhouses in Chicago. Last Christmas I decided to take a shot at making gumbo after my husband found your video. Let me tell you it knocked our socks off!!! I never thought I would be able to match a 5 star restaurant's food. The gumbo I made was so good we don't go there anymore, and your gumbo has been instituted as a family tradition. Every year I will make your gumbo for my family on Christmas Eve. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!! It is fantastic.
Wow that's something. I wonder how Chicago makes their Gumbo. lol Happy to hear that the Gumbo was a success and that everyone enjoyed it. Thanks for leaving feedback!
@@CharlieTheCookAndrews I’m from Chicago and I can tell you no one can cook it like you all in the south unless they’ve followed the traditional N.O way. 😉
Hi chief Charlie your gumbo recipe is perfect and on time.i Wii be making gumbo for Christmas, thank U much for your recipe.
So I’m from Louisiana as well and no one has ever been able to SUCCESSFULLY show me how to cook it. This is gold!! Best step by step video out here. Thank you sir!!!🖤✨
Wow, that's understandable. Happy that you found this recipe video. I appreciate the compliments. You're welcome, not a problem my fellow Louisiana native!
Goodness Gracious!!!!! This is slamming.. I did everything EXACTLY as you demonstrated. I even prepared the gizzards the night before in the slow cooker.. Man you need a show. Thank you so much for your time and effort.. You should make a donation tab..
Thanks a lot! This is one of my hardest worked on videos! You're welcome and yes i do take donations!
Your awesome, that gumbo is making my mouth water. You can even freeze leftovers to have it whenever you want it Yum!!
That's awesome @Armani
Awesome under taking of Mr. Charles gumbo you got it going on QE.
Charlie Andrews, Charlie I have looked at all of your video at every one of them up talk to me so much but one that I’m looking for and I can’t seem to find and that is smothered cube steak and gravy I would really love to be able to make that so if you find a good recipe for that and show me how to do it I promise I’ll follow through.
I made the gumbo Charlie!!!! My family loves it. I am too tired to eat it. It takes a lot of time. I tasted it and the gumbo is good. I will be eating lots of it tomorrow.
+T Quartimon Awesome! Glad that your family loved the Gumbo! Yes gumbo is an expensive and time consuming dish. There's a lot of preparation and cooking involved. I know by now that the pot of Gumbo you made is long gone lol
All Things Natural Hair
I’m also a New Orleans native and we can all testify that gumbo is even better
the next day. Enjoy
Gumbo is a 2 day deal. You do all of that in 1 day yes you will be tired😥
I have a love story about Gumbo. I met this amazing family out in California the couple was originally from New Orleans. They made some authentic Gumbo with all the fixings and that bowl of Gumbo I had or two lol 😂 I was blown away.I fell in love with Louisiana food. I felt at home and warm inside .I met a girl from a singing group from Changing Faces there such a down to earth family. But a girl from the islands started making Louisiana food. I made my first authentic red beans and rice recipe from that great family and I made it for my Polynesian family and it was a hit. They requesting me to make em again. I will make this Gumbo for sure. I need to visit New Orleans for the food and the Martiqua and the people so hospitable .On my list after this pandemic.
Wow that is cool. So this is why you love New Orleans food. That is good to hear! Let me know how the Gumbo turns out. Thanks for the compliments and for sharing your story!
THE BEST VIDEO AND ONLY VIDEO ON UA-cam WITH AUTHENTIC NEW ORLEANS/LOUISIANA GUMBO, put some respect on my brother, sincerely Mid City New Orleans resident.😁⚜️💜💚💛
I appreciate the compliments. Thanks, my fellow New Orleans native!!
This will take an entire weekend and every bit of cooking patience i have but i will do this recipe! Appreciate the 6 hours of editing!
Great! Yes it does take a long time to prepare and cook! Preparing it is the hardest part. Make sure you prepare things early. Your roux can be prepared weeks or months in advanced. Your seasonings can be prepared 2 days in advanced before you cook your gumbo! Hope this helps! Thanks for commenting!
Charlie, I am so impressed with not only your recipes, but more so with your presentations and demeanor. You are impressive. I enjoy you videos!
Thanks so much Ronnie! I try my best! Glad that you are enjoying my channel!
Charlie, I have watched over 1,000 on line cooking vides and yours WAS THE BEST!
@@tomknobel8634 AGREE!!
Completely Agree! Very well done!
Totally agree!
Made it for Christmas 2020...By far the Most authentic New Orleans gumbo recipe ever! It was Sooooooo Good!
Hey there! Happy to hear that the Gumbo was a success and that you enjoyed it. Thanks for leaving feedback!
@@CharlieTheCookAndrews I've been looking for authentic New Orleans gumbo recipe.... I subscribed to your channel to learn other recipes you have this one right here is the one
The way I’ve been using this recipe and this recipe ONLY for years! My husband is a summer baby but gumbo is his birthday meal every year. When family comes to visit, they say I better have my famous gumbo lol Thank you for all you do!
That is awesome. I've actually heard from quite a few people that say they come back to watch this video every time. lol You're welcome, not a problem! :D
Mr. Charlie Andrews, I really appreciate you taking the time to show a real New Orleans Gumbo from start to finish. I enjoy cooking and your gumbo for me is the right way, the long way, the best way to make gumbo. I think that anyone who wants to really learn how to create New Orleans Gumbo they should watch your process and follow it perfectly. Do not substitute nor change Mr. Andrew’s gumbo process and You will agree Mr. Andrews knows how to cook New Orleans style the classic way. Thank you, Charlie! You are The Man! Bob from Clearwater, Fl
Thank you so much for the compliments I really appreciate it.
@@CharlieTheCookAndrews My Pop-pop, grandfather allowed me to work with him in the restaurants he worked in as a chef as a way for me to pay my way through food management college. His cooking was practiced as an art and he taught me to look out for the basics in evaluating well prepared dishes. Charlie (I hope I can call you by your first name) you remind me of him and your style. The New Orleans style is classic cuisine with the local home touch. Thank you so much sir for your work and contribution to culinary art New Orleans style.
This is by far the most instructive and accurate gumbo tutorial I’ve seen online. Dec 2019 and I still refer back to this video each time I make it. Living in Louisiana I’m not making my gumbo any other way
I appreciate the compliments Shamari! That is good to hear that you enjoy the Gumbo video and that you always come back to watch to give yourself a refresher course! :)
I agree! And the quality of your ingredients are superb! I wish I had N.O. shrimp and crab like you have. Here in Indiana, USA I can get ok quality sea food but it will never be as fresh as you get and i will have to pay top dollar!
After the pandemic settles down I’m coming to N.O. to get a bowl!
Do you have cookbooks on the market? If so where and how much? Would make great Christmas gift. Or a "me" gift. Keep honingýour craft chef. You have potential. And skills to reakeon with. Food network, watch out.He's heading your way soon.
I'm from Dallas Tx and most of my church members are from New Orleans an when I told them I wanted to make gumbo for new years they referred me to you so this will be my first time making it and I will come back with an update... Thank you for the detailed instructions 🙏
Wow that is cool. Let me know how it turns out. You're welcome, not a problem! I appreciate your church members. Next time you see them tell them I said " Thank you! :)
I'm just a Texas boy, but visiting Louisiana and getting to try y'all's food is one of my favorite vacations. When I can't, these recipes are a godsend. Thank you.
Thank you! That is awesome! I appreciate the compliments. You're welcome, not a problem!
Hey boss, I'm Jamaican and wanted to try my hand at making gumbo, to be honest I couldnt find any videos that made much sense until I found your video. Very detailed and thorough. I honestly can't follow the entire recipe but you put a lot of the procedures into perspective for me. Still gonna try to make it but now I know where to go with mines and where NOT to go. Thanks very much.
Hey there! Thanks so much for the compliments! Glad that I was able to help. I put a lot of work into making this video! I'm not certain if you can find the ingredients in your area! If not then I have another Gumbo recipe. Chicken and sausage gumbo! You're welcome!
Yes hes my new go to guy. You cant go wrong with a New Orleans native.
Charlie is the truth! His recipes are Authentic, and if you follow them you are guaranteed to have a Pot of Perfection.. I promise.....
Yardie Belly TV You I
Very thorough. I’m Jamaican too and I will be trying the recipe. Very nice bro 👍🏾
I must say that i LOVE your recipe. I tried it and I took the whole pot of gumbo to work and they absolutely loved it! I have a NO native that works with me, and she told me where to find the D&D sausage and the Patton's hot sausage links and patties here in Atlanta as well as the blue crabs. She said, "I'll only have a little bit of it because I don't know if you can pull it off like we do in NO"... She smelled it, and said, "This is EXACTLY the way gumbo is supposed to smell".... LOL Then, she tasted it, and said, "DAMN!, you did this"..., I followed your recipe to the T, and I will do it again with your video until I can do it on my own. I highly recommend your recipe! I was cooking and pausing and playing and rewinding this video at the same time LOL.. Much love my friend!
Dwight Cannon Thank you Dwight! Wow! Amazing! I'm glad the New Orleans Native that works with you helped you get some of the ingredients! LOL Wow she told you that. She didn't have no confidence in you at all lol You SURE showed her and I'm glad that I was able to help! I will have to make this comment my number 1 comment for this video. I'm soo happy that you tried this and got the results I was looking for. A success! Yes keep trying and you will get better. Thank you very much for the feedback I GREATLY APPRECIATE IT! :)
@@CharlieTheCookAndrews your videos always make me so happy and also want to expand what I am learning. Thank you for the wonderful content but especially your great personality. Greetings from the north shore! My dad made an incredible sauce piquant. I’ll have to see if you have a video on that and if not see if it’s something you’d like to make. Have a wonderful day and thank you for sharing your love of Louisiana cooking!
CHARLIE, CHARLIE, CHARLIE!!!
I made this this past Sunday, and we were fighting over the few leftovers we had. I hid a bowl of it in the vegetable crisper of the fridge & my daughter found it & ate it. She NEVER goes in there. She doesn't even live at home anymore. What's that all about? It's all your fault. Lol My only saving grace is that my son is allergic to shellfish. Lucky me right? lmao
This is now a family favorite. It takes time & love to make, so thanks again for the recipe. ❤
Hey there. Wow that's something. Hope nobody got hurt over a bowl of Gumbo. lol 😆 Overall, I am happy to hear that the Gumbo was a success and that everyone enjoyed it. Thanks for leaving feedback! 🙂
I can appreciate a clean cook who is precise in what he is doing conscientious about cross contamination with the passion and love to cook
I appreciate the compliments. Thank you!
I've been watching a lot of vids lately trying to find a true authentic gumbo recipe, this is by far the one! (so far!)
I appreciate the compliments. Thanks!
Now that’s what they mean by cooking with LOVE! 👏🏾
Thank you!
CHARLIE YOUR RECIPE HAS COME THROUGH FOR MY FAMILY ONCE AGAIN... Yesterday was my birthday and my daughter made your Gumbo for my B-day dinner and let me tell you something... BABEEE I LOVED IT. Now we don't have some of the sausages your recipe calls for so there were some substitutions but non the less my daughter put her ENTIRE FOOT in the preparation of this gumbo, it was so full of flavor, I wanted to bang on the table😁😂. THANKYOU for sharing this recipe with us!❤❤❤❤❤
You're welcome, not a problem. I am happy to hear that the Gumbo was successful and that everyone enjoyed it. Thanks so much for leaving feedback and Happy belated birthday to you!! Hope you enjoyed your day and wishing you may more!! 🙂
I still refer to this video for gumbo and some times just to watch it and listen to your voice lol... soothing and makes me wanna cook!!! Thanks for being you!
Awesome that is good to hear. I appreciate the compliments. You're welcome, not a problem. Thanks! :)
"Slap your mama" seasoning 😂😂 goodness, whoever named it has a great sense of humour! New Orleans people sound like a very fun lot! Wish I could live there! You guys are awesome!
Oh yeah Slap your mama seasoning from what I heard it's good. I like the name a lot! :D Oh yeah New Orleans has some great people. We are known for our southern hospitality!
It was edited so well that it was easy to watch. I learned two things, drain the sausage and fry the okra. Thanks from a new subscriber.
I appreciate the compliments Chris. I am happy to hear that you learned somethings from watching this video. You're welcome and Thanks for subscribing!
Charlie I used your seafood gumbo recipe on yesterday. I put my twist to it and this was the very best gumbo that I ever eaten and made. You have one of the best seafood gumbo tutorials on UA-cam hands down. The reason why is your educational and thorough explanation and teaching on the proper way in making gumbo. This was a winner 🏆 for me. Blessings to you Charlie for sharing your amazing cooking skills with us...❤️❤️❤️
Hello there! That is awesome. Happy to hear that the Gumbo was a success and that you enjoyed it. I appreciate the compliments as well. Thanks so much Opal for leaving feedback! :)
@@CharlieTheCookAndrews I honestly believe that being educated and being taught better on how to make authentic Louisiana Seafood Gumbo. And the importance of using certain ingredients and the proper preparation that's required. In my honest opinion, I believe that many people are making gumbo the wrong way. Thanks again Charlie for your amazing and professional culinary talent. You are the real deal.
❤️❤️❤️💯
My brother passed away last week, and he lived in LA for a long time. His gumbo was legendary. I followed your recipe to make a pot in his honor this weekend and it turned out great. I just wish I had the whole cleaned crabs available here, I had to add some jumbo lump crabmeat at the end instead. I don't think there is a single dish I like better than a really good bowl of gumbo.
Wow I am sorry to hear about the passing of your brother. Happy that the Gumbo was a success. I'm sure your brother is smiling down on you. Thanks for leaving feedback!
I made gumbo using his recipe and it was everything I’ve ever imagined. Loved it so much + it was a hit with my friends and family
Awesome! I am happy to hear that the Gumbo turned out good and that everyone enjoyed it. Thanks for leaving feedback!
Love how descriptive you are and do everything step by step without rambling. PERFECT! Cannot WAIT to cook this for my husband. 😊 Thanks!
Hello Ashley! Let me know how it turns out. I'm sure your husband will enjoy the Gumbo. Thanks!
Charlie, I made your gumbo for my family for Memorial Day; I watched your video several times before hand, printed out the recipe, read and reread and took my time. EVERYONE said my gumbo was delicious and I owe it all to you! I followed your exact instructions as I spent way too much money and time on the ingredients to mess it up and went to several markets to find everything fresh as you stated. I didn't do the sausage balls but found everything else here in Los Angeles, Ca. Where I reside, at markets that carry Louisiana products here.
Made everything from scratch and everything fresh. Thanks again Charlie for the BEST GUMBO RECIPE EVER! 😘
I have subscribed to your channel for awhile and look forward to your videos religiously
Awesome that sounds good. I am happy to hear that the Gumbo was a success and that everyone enjoyed it. I know it's a lot of work and it is expensive but it's all worth it in the end. You're welcome, not a problem. I appreciate the compliments and you for subscribing. Thanks for leaving feedback! :)
Yes Lord! Now this is how Gumbo is made! I am so tired of seeing some of these UA-cam cooking channels making bootlegged Gumbo with , off white roux. Your video is the best to me!
Hey there! "Gumbo" Yes absolutely! Thanks so much!
@@CharlieTheCookAndrews Charlie I just realized I said the wrong dish🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 I must have been thinking about Jambalaya. Thank you for correction. Thank you for showing folk how to make the real deal Holyfield Gumbo. The bootlegged, low budget, beige roux Gumbo I’ve seen in some folk videos ain’t it🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Lord forgive me. Charlie when you said Stock from scratch no cans or jars over here💀 💀 💀🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣💀🤣
What you say Charlie? Fresh Okra no bags 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
you sir need your own cooking show
Thanks! I've been getting a few comments about that!
This is amazing I love your recipe this looks like the most authentic gumbo recipe I have seen..are there any substitutions I can use in place of the D&D smoked sausage and the hot sausage I live in NY state and we dont have those products here..we also dont have magic poultry or the gunbo spice..I really want to make this but i want to do it right..
I love ❤️
What about sending some of your videos to the Food Network?!!
@@roshawndajohnson9934 I know this is a late response but you can find what you need online.....every store in the country should have gumbo file
Mr. Andrews I really love your videos, they are clean in production, thorough and easy to follow. Thank you!

I am happy to hear that my videos changed your life and that you've learned something from them and that every recipe you've tried were successful. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you so much Charlie. I made your recipe for my family 2 years ago for Christmas. Since then they have not stopped asking me to make the gumbo every year since. My family is from New Orleans so I loved that this recipe made them feel like being back at home. Thank you again for this amazing gumbo prep and tutorial.
You're welcome. Happy to hear that the Gumbo was a success and that your family enjoys it. Thanks for leaving feedback!
Uhm, I just love you! Everything about this , the house shoes, the butter bowls, 🤩👍🏼screams southern Louisiana! So damn precious. I’m from Thibodaux and I approve this video ❤️✊🏼
I know right Tiffany! I appreciate the compliments my fellow New Orleans native! Yes absolutely. :)
Just finish making this, nearly exactly as you said. OUT-STANDING! Homemade chicken stock and shrimp stock makes all the difference.
I very much appreciate the detailed Step by Step. Made the whole process less daunting.
Thank you!!
Hello Steve! I am happy to hear that the Gumbo turned out good! Yes the stocks makes a huge difference! This is one of my hardest worked on videos. Thanks so much for the compliments and for leaving feedback!
@@CharlieTheCookAndrews Charlie, Charlie, Charlie, you looked like you were starving when you sat down to try your gumbo; snack a little here and there dude.
Hey. I’m making this now. When u did your stock was u short of the 3 quarts after cooking the chicken and shrimp? If so what did u do?
I’m from Port Arthur, TX and all of the true creoles I knew growing up made it like this!!! With heart. Love the video!
That is good to hear Jaime. Happy that you enjoyed the video. Thanks!
Port Arthur - born and raised here 😉 you not lying, Jaime.
Im from Port Arthur too!
Chef Charlie Andrews, I am always so proud of how you prepare foods and give your presentations everything is so delish and even a child can follow your instructions. Thanks for representing NOLA well. Naturally New Orleans native baby :)
I appreciate the compliments. Thanks my fellow New Orleans native! :)
Those Country Crock containers being reused is so southern. Such a wholesome video!
Yes I know right! A southern classic lol
Out of all the videos I've watched on how to prepare gumbo yours is by far the most descriptive , beautiful , and helpful video I have found. It's authentic and 100 percent real. I will be using every step you've provide. You are talented and a blessing. Thank you !
+sharnae cross Yes I agree with you! I wanted my video to be different than everyone else's. The way I make my Gumbo is totally different. Not only is everything from scratch. It comes from a place where Gumbo was born. Louisiana! Doesn't get any better than this! :) Thank you
My dad from Louisiana Baton Rouge the difference is he put tomatoes in it. He is louisianna Creole. the best authentic Gumbo recipe ever and when you brought out the file powder I said yep definitely NOLA.... Bien merci for this video, Bon Appetit!
That's cool. I appreciate the compliments. Thanks! :)
You are authentic. Your recipe is authentic. I trust your cooking ! Cheers from Austin Texas . Claudia
I appreciate the compliments. Thanks so much!
I appreciate how you use regular priced ingredients to make your dishes. I also love the cleanliness. You are very careful in your preparation and I can see how you really enjoy the food.
Yes absolutely. Everything ain't about the brand you know. I appreciate the compliments. Thanks so much!
I made this gumbo for Christmas and it was a hit!! there were no left overs. I took my time and made it just as instructed and they loved it. I will definitively keep this recipe.
Awesome! Glad to hear that everyone loved the Gumbo! Thanks so much for leaving feedback!
Where did u get the hot links and d&d sausage
Its_ Maya www.shop.nolafoodshippers.com/
Here I am x-amount of years later coming BACK to create one of your master pieces of the palate.. ur amazing
That's awesome. That is good to hear. Hope the Gumbo is successful yet again. I appreciate the compliment. Thanks!
Thanks so much for working hard on this gumbo video love... will be making this for Christmas !!! 🙌🏾
You're welcome Jasmine! I appreciate the compliments. Let me know how it turns out.
Sure thing Charles I’m about to start prepping my food can I make the roux tonight for tomorrow or so I have to use it the same day make it ?
Hey Charlie, I'm getting ready to make this recipe again today! It has become a tradition here in Vegas that when the first signs of Spring sprout up (before it gets too warm), we make gumbo, and bbq wings. I always use your recipes, particularly this Gumbo recipe because it's the best I've had. We lived in Algiers for three years, and I tell you what, the whole three years I never had a gumbo as delicious as this one! Thank you for your recipes! We love you Charlie!
Hello there! Awesome! It is good to hear that you always use my recipes and that you enjoy the Gumbo recipe the most. You're welcome not a problem. I appreciate the compliments. Thank you!
Now this is a real New Orleans gumbo! When I say you made your own stock and Patton's hot sausage I said he is so New Orleans! Thanks for really representing New Orleans Gumbo!
I appreciate the compliments! Thank you! :)
I just got finished eating your gumbo, and I cannot believe that you helped me make something so incredible. Thank you for sharing this wonderful recipe that cannot be learned from a cookbook. It was worth all of the time and effort.
You're welcome. not a problem! Yes, you are right about that. A cookbook wouldn't do it justice. Happy to hear that the Gumbo was successful and that you enjoyed it. Thanks for leaving feedback! :)
This gumbo hands down seems to be most authentic for New Orleans. I definitely would like to try this!!!
I appreciate the compliments. That's awesome. Let me know how it turns out. Thanks!!
This is a few days preperation this is for a OCCASION you have to REALLY love someone
Yes it is Tamra! Thanks for the compliments! :)
Charlie makes me want to come to New Orleans just to eat in his kitchen! I’m an interior designer, you cook and I’ll work. I’ve made your gumbo twice exactly how you said! And it was amazing, it took two days. I don’t change the recipe but I do add Tarragon to my rice. I got pics on my Facebook page.
Yeah I'm on day two now. Did the chicken stock one day, did the shrimp stock today, and I'll assemble it all and cook it all together in a few days when i get my authentic seasonings from AMAZON... lol... Gotta go hunt down a hot sausage today. Might be hard to find in Nevada. And then I'm going to have to punt on the crabs. I know I can't get those little guys anywhere around here.
Charlie-this recipe is a masterpiece-I’ve read many cookbooks describing how to make the NOLA dark roux, but now I actually get it after seeing you make yours. Also-mincing, frying, and draining the okra is a master stroke. Your cakes are miracles, and your gumbo appears to be heaven-sent as well. Thank you so much for your superb recipes, buddy!

I appreciate the compliments Stephen. You're welcome not a problem! :)

I appreciate the compliments. You're welcome, not a problem. Happy to hear that the Gumbo was a success and everyone enjoyed it. Thanks for leaving feedback!
You know I've been trolling UA-cam for quite some time looking at videos people have made trying to highlight our local dishes here in Louisiana. Finally I've came across someone who knows what the hell they are doing. Big ups to you my friend, you did that. I'm gonna make a vid matching you and maybe we can share recipes my friend.
***** Yes there's not many of us on here!!!! That's why i am on here because most people don't know what they are doing! They're not New Orleans. You should see some of these OTHER gumbo videos they have on here LOL Don't be fooled by imatitors lol Thank you sir and YES YES please make a video! I wanna see what you can do!!!! I'll be looking forward to it!!!!
Took me 3 days but that was the best gumbo I've ever made!

The great thing about you Charlie is that you are authentic, but you don’t knock those who do a different version of things if they choose to do so. Love ya for keeping it real and still be encouraging !🥰
I appreciate the compliments. I don't knock others as I respect their way of doing things.
I was admiring your modesty chef. You are also humble in your teaching..great qualities .You were raised very well. You should teach class. Our kids need your leadership skills.
God bless and keep you safe. You may be our next national treasure.😀
I come back here every year around thanksgiving time to refresh my memory on each step.
That is good to hear and I appreciate you. Thanks!
Thank you for showing how much our food is truly a labor of love. It takes time, patience, and some magic. I was watching this as a reminder, since my mom is no longer here to help me with the process... You did that! ❤️❤️
You're welcome, not a problem. Yes, it does take quite a bit of time and patience to make a Gumbo. Wow, I'm so sorry to hear about your mother's passing..
@@CharlieTheCookAndrews Your cooking always brings me back to my family, mainly in Kaplan. The Catalon, Lou'Viere, and Thibeaux, and Breaux peoples!! All the love!!
I have never seen okra cooked like that. I'm going to include in my next pot of gumbo. This is an excellent recipe. Love the detail
Awesome that sounds good. I appreciate the compliments. Thanks so much! :)
