Cajun cooking originated in south Louisiana a couple of centuries ago when the French-Acadians (known today by many as “Cajuns” first settled this land after being exiled from what is now known as Nova Scotia). 

In the years since Cajun cooking has been developed into something of an art form in the kitchens of South Louisiana-specifically in the 22 parish region called Acadia or “Cajun Country”

Get ready for a night in the Big Easy. Learn classic Acadian Recipes at the hands of an authentic Cajun ex-pat. Recipes that have been passed down from her mama to you will be featured in today’s class.
