The legendary queen of Cajun Zydeco music, Queen Ida Guillory, celebrates her birthday today.
Ida Guillory started out in Louisiana, growing up surrounded by the sounds of the homegrown Cajun and Creole music people played after a hard day's work. Upon moving to San Francisco she raised her family and worked as a school bus driver until she started sitting in on her brother's gigs at local French dances. One newspaper nickname later and "Queen Ida" was born.
The item depicted above is a cookbook featuring the food you should be eating before you go out for a night of zydeco dancing.
