American Kitchen Classic Louisiana Gumbo image

Gumbo is perhaps the signature dish, a cross cultural dish, of both cuisines, Cajun and Creole. Creole cooking is city cooking: refined, delicate and luxurious, developed and originally prepared by servants while Cajun cooking is French cooking techniques on a host of new ingredients unknown from the Cajuns stays in Nova Scotia and France, exotic forms of meat, game, fish, produce, and grains.

This gumbo was a lot of work to make, but it was worth it. It was the best gumbo I've ever had!

I followed the recipe exactly, but my gumbo turned out too salty. I think I'll use less salt next time.

I thought this gumbo was just okay. It wasn't bad, but it didn't really wow me.

This gumbo was a little too spicy for me, but I still enjoyed it. Next time I'll use less cayenne pepper.
