Where Flavour and Culture Collide
|
|
Louisiana's diverse cultures greatly shape its cuisine. Creole cuisine, a blend of West African, French, Spanish and Native American influences, features dishes like gumbo, jambalaya, beignets, and French toast. Cajun cooking, developed by Cajun-Acadians, draws from West African, French and Spanish styles, adapting to Louisiana's resources. Both Creole and Cajun cuisine are influenced by French traditions. Seafood, including oysters, crawfish, and prawns, plays a significant role due to Louisiana's southern coastal location. |
