CSI: New York actor Hill Harper (Dr Sheldon Hawkes) enjoys eating his mother’s gumbo during the holidays, so he shared the recipe with UPTOWN magazine. “The history behind gumbo—as with most traditional soul food—is that of turning other people’s scraps into your delicacy,” Harper explained. “It’s about overcoming obstacles and ending up with something delicious. My mother is from South Carolina and she knows how to cook traditional southern cuisine. However, she lived in San Francisco for many years, so she puts a healthy twist on everything she does. Her gumbo is the perfect combo of tradition (it tastes great!) and healthy preparation…which makes you feel great.”
