Info...Creole and CajunCreole and Cajun are not the same, and neither is their cooking. A Creole is someone of Old World ancestry and culture born in the New World. Creoles were, in a sense, orphans of colonization - people who were not Native Americans, but who had an indirect experience of the European culture which shaped them. They were frequently seen as 'hicks' by people born in Europe. To compensate, some of them were excessively 'proper' and paid close attention to European fashions. Cajuns, on the other hand... |

Tip!To serve boiled shrimp, crabs, or crawfish the way it's done in New Orleans, cover the table with several layers of brown paper or newspaper. Serve the boiled seafood on large trays. In the middle of the table, put catsup, horseradish, lemon wedges, and Worcestershire sauce, with small bowls or paper cups. Let each person serve his own seafood and mix his own sauce. Boil red potatoes and corn on the cob in the water the seafood was cooked in, and serve them as side-dishes. The only other things you need are crackers, plenty of your favorite beverage, and LOTS of paper towels. Messy, messy but fun! |
Tip!Roux is made of equal parts of grease or fat and flour, cooked very slowly, with constant stirring, in a heavy pot, until the color is a deep nut-brown. It takes a while to make a roux. The trick is to get the flour as hard as possible without burning it. If little black specks appear, some of the flour has burned. You should throw it out, wash out the pot, and start over. Otherwise, the gumbo will have a scorched taste. Often, the chopped vegetables are added immediately to the finished roux to stop the cooking by lowering the temperature. |
