| The Classics |
| Cajuns love their seafood. This "soup for the Cajun soul" can be made with crab, shrimp, crawfish, all three or in combination with each other. Experiment with the mixtures of the seafood available in your area. |
| There are two varieties of sweet potatoes; the pale yellow with a dry flesh and the dark orange with a moist flesh. The dark orange variety is plumper in shape and somewhat sweeter than the yellow variety. What are frequently called yams, especially in the Southern U.S., are in fact sweet potatoes. The two are not related, even though they look similar and are used in pretty much the same way. Not yet rated |
| Many Cajuns refer to corn as macque choux (mach shoo). Originally however this was an Indian word meaning corn. |

| Note that this recipe is prepared to feed the masses at large family reunions, vendors street fairs, school events, food festivals and politcal gatherings. Kaplan, LA in the year 2005 celebrated its first Cajun Food Festival. All types of fun Cajun foods are served. Make plans to attend in April/May 2006. Dance to many of the great local Cajun Bands including Wayne Toups.
Rice production in Louisiana were greatly affected with the intrusion of salt water from the storm surge during Hurricane Rita. |
| The aroma of the yeast being added to the mixture can only be beat by the smell of the this bread cooking. Make a memory - bake this today! |
| One of the more popular Cajun style soups. Make Nola's Homemade Bread on our site -
Great for the Bird Flu season or anytime comfort food is needed.
for the prefect compliment to this soup. |
| This simple dish was once the everyday "supper" for Cajuns. Served with milk, figs or cane syrup and even (one of my favorites)chopped pork cracklings. It was satisfying and filling. My favorite was eating it with coffee added to my milk (yes coffee milk) and lots of sugar! Repriser cela est bon! |
| A basic sweet dough for preparing tarts that can be filled with fig preserve, blackberries, bouille, coconut cream, pineapple, or sweet potato. The various recipes for the fillings can be found on our website. |
| VERY EASY TO MAKE!! Throw ingredients in an Hitachi (Cajun name for rice/stream cooker regardless of the manufacturer) rice cooker. As one visitor writes - "off the charts!". |

| Truly a CAJUN COUNTRY recipe. This recipe was received from Mae Mae Breaux and very comparable to Aunt Melina Falcon’s recipe. Remember Aunt Melina never used measuring cups…always a handful of this and a pinch of that. Mae Mae watched her for several years and came up with this recipe…we can’t tell the difference and I bet Aunt Melina couldn’t either if she were still with us. |
