Much Ado About Gumbo
This is my very first roux. It's a medium roux, came out absolutely perfect the first time. I was very surprised after hearing all of the roux horror stories, with visions of burnt roux in my head I persevered. I thought I would be over the stove for hours stirring, and stirring, and stirring. It was not that serious. My roux advice would be: keep the heat low and stay in the kitchen. Now you too, can roux the day!
