Bite Your Tongue - Creole and Cajun Cooking?

Creole and Cajun Cooking Cuisine - there is a difference!

What is the difference between Creole and Cajun Cuisine cooking? We'll take a look at this over the next few days.

First, if you don't live in Southern Louisiana probably would say there is very little difference between the two styles of cuisine.

In actuality, the difference is based in the history of each food style.

Generally speaking Creole Cooking is a more refined type of cuisine originating in the cities of Lousiana reflecting Creole's close ties to the European aristocracy who settled in cities along with their chefs.

Cajun cuisine by comparison is considered originating in the Lousiana back country. The common distinguishing factor is its many traditional one pot meals made up of whatever was on hand by the people who originally settled in the more rural parts of the area.
