Cajun food is more popular than ever these days!
Cajun food is regional, originating in Louisiana,
with influences from French, Italian, Spanish, and
African food. Cajun foods make use of the nearby
seafood sources to create recipes with crawfish,
oysters, and crab. The distinction is subtle
between creole and cajun, but cajun is mostly
local with more spice! When you eat cajun, you’ll
always find onion, bellpeppers, and celery.
This is making me hungry!
Gumbos are thick stews made with
sassafras leaves and hot peppers.
Sausages called andouille are part of the picture,
as well as jambalaya. Cajun mostly uses paprika,
garlic powder, black pepper, cayenne pepper,
thyme,oregano, and onion powder. Hot!
