| | Louisiana Creole cuisine - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Louisiana Creole cuisine is a style of cooking originating in Louisiana (centered on the Greater New Orleans area) that blends French, Spanish, and American influences. |
 | | It is vaguely similar to Cajun cuisine in ingredients (such as the holy trinity), but the important distinction is that Cajun cuisine arose from the more rustic, provincial French cooking adapted by the Acadians to Louisiana ingredients, and Creole cooking tends more toward classical European styles adapted to local foodstuffs. |
 | | Popular Creole dishes include jambalaya, red beans and rice, crawfish bisque, shrimp Creole, turtle soup, Oysters Rockefeller, pompano en papilliote, oysters en brochette, bread pudding, begniets, etc. |
