While searching high and low for a true Cajun restaurant outside of Louisiana (and online!), two Cajuns (Chrissy LeMaire and Brandon Abshire) found that most Americans thought that Cajun food consisted of only red pepper and paprika.
Chrissy and Brandon's vision is to give Cajuns back their good name and to spread the essence of Real Cajun Cooking and Culture to the rest of the world.
RealCajunRecipes.com moderates all recipe submissions and recipes are added only after our mothers, aunts and great aunt's have given their seal of approval.
