Cochon de laits are always a sight to see! French for 'suckling pig', the cochon de lait is basically a cajun pig roast and feast of a whole young pig. It's a common social event in Louisiana and you will see this done at many plantation weddings and large scale outdoor events. I always love experiencing them at Chef John Folse's White Oak Plantation, as he has dedicated an entire section of his outdoor courtyard for this cajun delicacy. Jordan, event planner at White Oak, sent me the picture below and you can find the recipe to Chef Folse's cochon de lait detailed on the Food Network. If you want to try this at home, make sure you work closely with your butcher, and glance through this site HERE. Enjoy! Happy Friday! xoxo, Julie
