CajunMember of a French-speaking community of Louisiana, USA, descended from French Canadians. In the 18th century these people were driven to Louisiana from Nova Scotia (then known as Acadia, from which the name Cajun comes). The modern Cajun people are known for their music, which has a lively rhythm and features steel guitar, fiddle, and accordion, and for their spicy cuisine. |

LONG BEFORE CHEF PAUL PRUDHOMME started the Cajun food craze of the last two decades, the culinary traditions of southern and central Louisiana were well-loved throughout the world by those in the know. |
