My favorite is Cajun. Albeit I’m partial to it, from from living in New Orleans for most of my life. After living in the southwest and northeast, I can safely say there is not other cuisine like it in America. Cajun food really is the first truly fusion cuisine. It blends together, French, African and Caribbean cuisines, all to make a true representation of the melting pot that is south Louisiana. Those attributes also make it a great cuisine to use as a teaching instrument for newer cooks. You have to understand many techniques and flavor profiles used in other cuisines.
Aside from Cajun I also enjoy playing with Mexican and Mediterranean food. I’ve done quite a bit with Mexican; but, I’m still in the process of learning Mediterranean and Greak. I love the clean and crisp flavors in Mediterranean cuisine as well as the health benefits it offers over the rich and robust flavors in Cajun food.
what about you? What do you enjoy?
