Creole food, like Cajun food, is at it's root, French. The French settlers who came to southern Louisiana mixed with the locals, including Spanish, American Indians, and Blacks. They incorporated a lot of the local ingredients into their dishes, but retained the basics. A Creole gumbo, for instance, is more tomato and seafood based, while a Cajun gumbo is more chicken and sausage. They both start with a roux (oil & flour) onions, peppers, and celery, but then move in somewhat different directions.

Creole cuisine revolves around influences found in Louisiana from populations present in Louisiana before the sale of Louisiana to the United States in the Louisiana Purchase
