  Rice is farmed in Southern Louisiana where the ideal weather
conditions provide longer growing seasons. Double cropping
is possible if an early Spring enables early planting.
Louisiana is ranked as the third largest rice producing
state and is rich in culinary heritage. Here descendants
of Spanish and French immigrants lived alongside both African
slaves and American colonists.
Creoles are as fancy with their architecture as
they are with their
cuisine.
                                              

Creole cuisine with its African and Spanish influences is centred in New Orleans. Its cooking is refined, almost elegant. Cajun cuisine sprung from the poorer, rural areas, its roots lying primarily with refugees of French origin.

 No two Gumbos are the
same, ask any Cajun,
each has a favourite recipe.
