Cajun cuisine is a style of cooking that was brought to Louisiana by the French-speaking Arcadian settlers who migrated there around 1755. These days, it is mostly associated with New Orleans and the uniquely flavorful foods you’ll find there, often fried or stewed and loaded with spices. Unfortunately, traditional cajun dishes make heavy use of seafood and meat. However, since cajun cooking is centered around using locally available ingredients and simple cooking methods, it is an ideal cuisine to veganize.
