A True Melting Pot of American Cuisine

The cuisine of southern Louisiana follows the early history of America. This prime geography situated on a bustling gulf and threaded with rivers, is favored with fertile swampland and prairie. For centuries it has attracted a multicultural list of inhabitants. So Cajun/Creole fare has benefited from the blend of cooking characteristics brought by the many people who settled this area. Still many ask about the distinction between Cajun and Creole. There are subtle and important differences. In recent years, however there has been a melding of the two cooking styles which shows that this area's cuisine continues to evolve. For generations it has drawn the best from international and indigenous influences to become uniquely American.

Cajuns trace their roots directly to the Acadian French who relocated from Normandy and Brittany to Nova Scotia in the early 1600s. When the British acquired Nova Scotia in 1755, the Acadians or "Cajuns" as they were known, were forced to leave. For the next 30 years, Acadians searched for a place to settle. Many of the displaced Cajuns eventually found their way to the swamps and prairie of southern Louisiana.
