Cajun cooking grew up in the countryside of Acadiana; Creole cooking in the city of New Orleans. They share a pot — the trinity, a good roux — but they're not the same thing, and we label each recipe accordingly.

Southern cooking tips
01
Chop the trinity before the roux
A dark roux goes from perfect to burnt fast. Have your onion, celery and bell pepper ready to stop the cooking.
02
Get that skillet screaming hot
Cornbread batter should sizzle when it hits the pan — that's how you get crisp, golden edges.
03
Wash greens like you mean it
Swish collards in several changes of cold water. Grit settles to the bottom; lift the leaves out.
04
Trust a thermometer
It's the easiest way to know chicken (165°F) and pork (145°F) are done without overcooking.
