From the bayous of South Louisiana, Cajun people have devised a unique way of cooking that also reflects a unique history and lifestyle. Most people would agree that home cooking usually beats restaurant fare any day and Cajun home cooking is unsurpassed in flavor and comfort. As Cajun became more well-known and moved into the trendy category, restaurants across the country started offering a Cajun twist on menu items. It was a nice attempt at introducing Cajun cooking to the whole country, unfortunately many attempts to Cajun a dish simply meant adding hot sauce. Cajun is much more than spice, but rather a unique approach to food of which knowledge has been passed down from generation to generation.
