Elements of Cajun
Cooking
By Dr. Joseph Frey
Elements of Cajun Cooking
Cajun cuisine originated in southern Louisiana, where a
melding of French, Spanish, Native American, African, and
German cultures led to a delicious blending of flavors.
Here are some key features of Cajun cooking:
 Making a roux. A roux is a gravy-like sauce that forms
the base of many Cajun dishes, including gumbo.
Though a roux is formed using simple ingredients (flour,
water, and a fat such as oil or lard), the process itself
requires a certain amount of culinary finesse.
Elements of Cajun Cooking
 Blending spices. Cajun food is known for being spicy,
and Cajun cooks do enjoy using spices. However,
successful cooks are careful to ensure that the spices
bring out the flavors of the food instead of
overpowering them.
 Using what you have. At the heart of Cajun cuisine is
the ability to improvise. Because the people who first
invented many Cajun dishes were poor, cooks relied on
what was near at handseafood, vegetables, rice, and
whatever else they could find.
About the Author
Dr. Joseph Frey has developed a passion
for cooking the Cajun dishes his mother
and grandmother used to prepare.
Outside the kitchen, he advocates for
the rights of families as Chief Executive
Officer of his private psychology
practice, Partners in Achievement.
