Traditions Combined: Cajun and Creole

The U.S. may be a melting pot, but New Orleans and its surroundings are a gumbo pot--open the lid and you’ll find a little bit of everything.

The French who settled Louisiana came together with the Spanish population, those from Africa, people from the Caribbean and those Acadians we like to call Cajuns.

That particular gumbo pot gave us something we call Creole.

Creole is more than a descriptor of a people. It’s also a catchall term for the way those folks cook. Creole is a combination of flavors, styles, traditions and ingredients that produces meals unlike any others.

It’s a flexible form of cooking that celebrates the fine French kitchen traditions and the idea of creativity and flexibility.

Mainly, it’s good. Really good.

The Ultimate Guide to Cajun and Creole Cuisine gives you all of the information on Creole cooking and the Creole tradition.

This new guide provides you with a great backgrounder on what Creole living is all about and follows that up with a healthy collection of recipes featuring all of the best-known and most beloved Creole meals.

I know you’re going to want to claim your own copy of The Ultimate Guide to Cajun and Creole Cuisine. It’s good eating in a fine tradition. Claim your copy right away while it’s still available at the current price.
