on
Jour! Welcome to Ms. Lucy’s
classic Cajun culture and cooking.”
This is a familiar sound as Ms. Lucy
Bopens each of her fantastic shows.
Then she takes her viewers on an exciting trip
throughout Louisiana in search of the wonder-
ful Louisiana (and Cajun) product she will
prepare in her gorgeous kitchen decorated with
an array of red appliances. Red is Ms. Lucy’s
signature color, and it conveys her dynamic
personality.
Ms. Lucy hails from Gueydan, Louisiana,
where she was born and raised. There she
learned to cook like her grandmother and
mother. Her parents, Elbey and Eloise Henry,
lived on a rice farm. She grew up in a typical
Cajun home. They worked hard, ate hearty
meals and experienced the “joie de vie.”
Ms. Lucy married her high school sweet-
heart, Harry Zaunbrecher, continuing the
lifestyle she had previously known. Later on,
Ms. Lucy was transplanted to Northeast
Louisiana, a new experience for her.
Several friends who had enjoyed her meals
encouraged her to document this wonderful
heritage which she possesses.
Her first cookbook depicted all her joys and
loves of cooking. Through this book came the
production of the greatest cooking show in the
nation.
The book became “live on tape” as Ms.
Lucy shares the great products and commodi-
ties of Louisiana with her viewers. Her loving
and dynamic personality makes her trips
throughout Louisiana and her preparation of
these in her kitchen a joy. Ms. Lucy loves to
cook and she loves people, which makes it so
easy for her to “visit” with her viewers.
Ms. Lucy produced her own show in 1996,
which she filmed in a friend’s home in Monroe,
Louisiana. After 26 episodes, she had her own
studio kitchen at home in Jones. She aired her
show statewide and it was a great success!
Louisiana Public Broadcasting recognized the beauty of Ms. Lucy’s
classic Cajun culture
and cooking show. It was aired statewide and
nationwide on Public Broadcasting. LPB, in
conjunction with Ms. Lucy, produced 13 new
episodes depicting Ms. Lucy’s Cajun lifestyle.
Ms. Lucy’s granddaughter, Lucy Suzanne,
appears on several of the shows, having grown
up in the kitchen with her grandmother. Their
love of cooking and the love they share for each
other is obvious to all.
Many viewers throughout the United Stated
have written Ms. Lucy expressing their appre-
ciation for the show, loving the stories she
shares and the home-style dishes she prepares
in a very easy manner.
Through Louisiana Public Broadcasting and
RFD-TV, Ms. Lucy has been able to share her
precious heritage, which is her biggest and
most desired goal.
The show is a classic, and RFD-TV is proud
to be part of Ms. Lucy’s classic Cajun culture
and cooking!
