Difficulty: Easy
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • Creole Cooking Seasonings
  1. Step 1

    Find Creole seasonings while you shop at most well stocked food stores. There are differences in products ranging from mild to strong Cajun seasonings. Decide which one suits you best, then buy it to start your excursion into culinary delight.

  2. Step 2

    Let your taste buds guide you to your favorite brands or make your own. The main ingredients in a good Creole spice mixture are salt, pepper, red pepper, oregano, onion and garlic.

  3. Step 3

    Evoke a true flavor of New Orleans with Zatarain's Seasoning Gone Wild. This spice mixture is particularly good in gumbos and stews, adding amazing flavor to every food you eat.

  4. Step 4

    Know your brands. Tony Chachere's, although often compared to seasoning salt, is one of the best known spice mixtures around. If you are watching your salt, they also have a salt-free version you can buy.

  5. Step 5

    Start your search for foods to try with your newfound love immediately. Institute a new habit of trying one new recipe or a dish you already know each week (adding Creole Cooking Seasonings).

  6. Step 6

    Devour a delicious serving of sausage, red beans and rice along with a healthy sprinkling of your favorite spice mixture. From there, try any of the other Creole and Cajun dishes you come across. Recipes abound everywhere, and you probably already have some ideas. Try the links in the Resources area to guide you to other foods.

Tips & Warnings
  • Try a variety of seasoning brands—read the ingredient list to help you know the spices.
  • Name brands are a good place to start, but don't forget that some of the lesser-known varieties will surprise you with their flavor.
  • You can get too much of a good thing, so use these seasonings sparingly until you know how much you like.
