CH Iwanaga, musical pioneer
When she was 12, Chizu Helen Iwanaga began playing piano for temple services at the Stockton Buddhist Temple. But the repertoire of Buddhist music back then was thin. Western music wasn't a part of the Japanese Buddhist tradition, so temples had adapted Christian hymns. Mrs. Iwanaga changed that. A pioneer in Buddhist music, she composed Buddhist gathas, or hymns, and organized and conducted choirs in several temples. She died last Tuesday from complications after a fall and a heart attack. She was 92. Mrs. Iwanaga was a small, energetic woman full of passion. She loved cooking, gardening, the Food Network, the 49ers, the Giants and Ichiro Suzuki, her family said. Even when she was hospitalized after her fall, she was making sure her family was cared for, said her daughter-in-law, Reiko Iwanaga of Saratoga.
Barbecue Cajun-Style Prawns: An appetizer and a scoop
This week's recipe comes to you via a request from one of our customers through a letter written to Gourmet magazine. The request was made for the recipe of one of our longest running appetizer dishes - Barbecue Cajun-Style Prawns.
So I thought it would be nice if I shared it with my local customers well before it hits the national media. I guess that's called "scooping." Yep, we're going to "scoop" the national media for this recipe.
One of the questions I get asked regarding not only this recipe but any recipe that comes from the South, is what is the difference between Cajun and Creole?
I personally asked that age-old question when I met Paul Prudhomme. He gave me a detailed description of the two, but the short description was basically that Creole food was more bourgeois or French influenced because there were so many French living in the South, especially Louisiana.

If you are not familiar with this television celebrity some biographical information might be helpful. Cora hails from a Greek community in Jackson, Miss.
