History of Pralinière

These women had learned the art of praline-making from their mothers and grandmothers, passing down the family recipes for generations. They would gather in their small kitchens, surrounded by the sweet aroma of caramelized sugar and pecans, carefully stirring and shaping each batch of pralines.

Their pralines were sold in small shops and markets all over the city, and were a favorite among locals and tourists alike. People would come from far and wide just to taste the pralines made by these skilled women.

Despite the challenges they faced as women and as members of the African-American community, the pralinières persevered. They were proud of their heritage and of the delicious treats they created.

Over time, their reputation grew and their pralines became a symbol of the city of New Orleans itself. And even as the years passed, the pralinières continued to carry on their traditions, passing down their knowledge and skills to the next generation of women, ensuring that the legacy of their beloved pralines would never be forgotten.
