• The late Leah Chase was a famous New Orleans chef known as the "Queen of Creole Cuisine."
• I tried her classic peach cobbler recipe for the holidays.

If there's anyone I trust with a peach cobbler recipe, it's Leah Chase.

Chase, known as the "Queen of Creole Cuisine," became a pillar in the Black community before she died in 2019. She's best known for contributing to the food industry through her restaurant, Dooky Chase, in New Orleans.

Chase died in 2019 at 96, but her family continues her enduring legacy at the establishment.

According to The Associated Press, Dooky Chase was the first white-tablecloth restaurant for Black patrons, all while serving Creole and Cajun food. The restaurant also became a backdrop for the civil-rights movement because Chase allowed Black and white activists to strategize inside the restaurant.

"She made people happy through her food," Chase's daughter, Stella Chase Reese, said in Netflix's "High on the Hog" season two.

One of the most sought-after recipes is her peach cobbler, which takes about 75 minutes to complete. Here's how to make the scrumptious dessert.
