A story I’ve been eager to tell for a long time and it’s wonderful to see it come to life on @Adventurecom. What is Cajun and what is Creole? How do these cuisines differ? Read on to find out. Thank you so much @LouisianaTravel @no_fixed_plans @ttmworld 🍲
"As someone fascinated by food and its origins, Louisiana’s cuisine had always remained a mystery to me. I’d long noticed how often people used Cajun and Creole interchangeably and kept wondering: Just how interchangeable are they?" @Rashmi_Narayan9
