Plantation Country

Louisiana's lush plantation country is the next stop on James Martin's American Adventure. Famous for its sugar production, the area boasts beautiful plantation houses that are rich in history. James arrives in style in a red Mustang and visits historic Houmas House - where he cooks in the house's beautiful gardens - before sampling the local speciality of gumbo at the hands of the house's resident chef. James is also taken on a ghost tour to find out about the people who lived and worked here.
