Creole food has more of a distinctive French influence (French seasonings and French cooking techniques). Of course, the French settled around the St. Lawrence River in Canada many years ago. When the French were warring with the British there, many French Canadians of that era migrated from the St. Lawrence River valley to other parts of the world, including what is now Louisiana in the United States. They brought with them their cooking methods and integrated them with the cooking methods of the people already inhabiting the Louisiana region. The result is Creole cooking. Creole cooking relies very heavily on the use of seafood, including native craw fish. It is indeed similar to Cajun cooking, but with a more distinctive French influence. Both forms of cooking are products of two or more cultures’ cuisines melding or blending to create a new cuisine. Both Creole and Cajun cuisines are common and popular in Louisiana and surrounding areas.


What does Cajun mean? What is the Cajun culture all about? Do you know what their cooking is all about?


It’s from the French that settled in Canada. Some of them moved down to Lousianna.
