Cajun
food was created by hardworking
people who have a joy for life (joie
de vivre), love to eat and take
the preparation of their food very
seriously. It is generally thought
to be hot and spicy, but in actuality,
authentic Cajun food is never so
highly seasoned that it prevents
one's sense of taste from distinguishing
the other components of the prepared
dish. The process of preparing Cajun
food is never hurried and involves
a layering of flavors which allows
each ingredient to maintain its
own identity.
Cajun
food is French in origin and influenced
by Spanish spices and peppers, Italian
tomatoes and garlic, African vegetables,
and Native American herbs and cooking
techniques. The result is a spicy,
down-home food with a subtle delicacy
that is as special as the people
who created it.
