Culinary passion is the heartbeat of New Orleans. Cornbread and Buttermilk explore the soul of Cajun and Creole cuisine. The air is thick with the scent of simmering pots, where onions, celery, and bell peppers—the holy trinity—meld into a symphony of flavors. Each bite tells a story, rich and complex, a dance of history and tradition. Here, in the cradle of the Crescent City, they uncover the secrets of a culinary heritage that is as vibrant as the streets themselves. From gumbo to jambalaya, and étouffée to beignets, this episode dives deep into the unique flavor profiles that make New Orleans a food lover's paradise. Discover how these dishes, steeped in history, bring together the diverse cultures of Louisiana. Join Cornbread and Buttermilk as they taste their way through the bayou, bringing you the best of Cajun and Creole cooking.
