Leah Chase is known as the “Queen of Creole Cuisine,” but she’s so much more than that–a patron of the arts, a civil rights leader, a champion of New Orleans–you name it. She’s a truly remarkable woman, (and full disclosure: I researched her roots), so when I saw that a documentary of her life is being filmed, I wanted to help make it possible for more people to hear her story. You can help bring the project to life, as well, by pledging your support to the crowdsourcing campaign here.
