The term 'Cajun Cooking Style' refers to a type of cuisine originating from the French-speaking Acadian people who were exiled from Canada in the 18th century and settled in the Louisiana area. The style of cooking is characterized by the use of spices, peppers, and other ingredients such as onions, garlic, celery, and tomatoes. The term 'CREOLE' is often used interchangeably with Cajun cooking, but it is actually a distinct style of cooking that originated in New Orleans and is characterized by the use of more complex ingredients such as okra, bell peppers, and tomatoes.
