Franklin-Allen: Growing up in the streets of Shreveport, Louisiana, she has always known to cook family favorites. Her mom, grandmother, and great grandmother were all born and raised in Louisiana. Watching them cook in the kitchen, a young Carolyn (Jean as she was referred to by her family) Studied their styles and ways of cooking in the kitchen. As she got older, she took upon herself to start writing recipes to develop her own cooking style. One recipe after another, she got the idea to start her own cookbook.
