Cajun food has grown more popular in recent years due to the tasty blend of spices, cooking seasonings, and fiery sauces found in each hearty dish. Cajun originally referred to the people of French/Canadian descent that live in Louisiana along the marshes and bayous of the state. As the regional foods became more popular and widely known, the desire for Cajun spices and recipes grew as well. Cajun dishes are a blend of herbs, spices and peppers used in boils, sauces, soups and rice dishes. Many families are fed on staples of rice, beans, pork, seafood and vegetables collected from the surrounding area. Cajun cooking is considered country cooking, whereas Creole is city cooking. Considered more refined, Creole cooking uses more butter and expensive ingredients. Cajun cooking is a culmination of cooking traditions from African slaves, Caribbean seamen, Native Americans and Acadians. Fortunately, today, there are reputable, flavorful spice blends that incorporate all the ingredients of the seasonings for Cajun cooking without using multiple bottles of spices and herbs for each dish. Durn Good Seasonings and spices company has developed a deliciously spicy, Cajun Seasoning Blend for use in all of your favorite recipes.
