Food has always meant much to Louisianians whether they be French, Cajun, American, Indian or African, and so it is with the Creoles, whose foodways serve as a window into the past and present. Come with us to sample Gumbo, Turtle Etouffee, Macque Choux, Teacakes, and lots of other great dishes as the Cane River Creoles share their recipes and stories of the world.
