Jambalaya Skewers with Creole Sauce

Creole (kree-yol) - French-Spanish term and early on, was used to identify white, rich French dependents born in Louisiana. As Creoles mixed with New-World born slaves, free people of colour, and mix-heritage descendants, the term gradually came to encompass people of colour in New Orleans. The word became synonymous with the city’s culture, architecture, local accents, and most importantly, cuisine.

NOLA Veggie Coleslaw with Mock Remoulade Lemon Dressing

The “holy trinity” in Cajun cuisine and Louisiana Creole cuisine is the base for several dishes in the regional cuisines of Louisiana and consists of onions, bell peppers and celery. “You don’t make nothin’ in New Orleans without the holy trinity", says Chef Joey. That’s why this slaw will have a bit of a crunch!
