Difference in Cajun and Creole Cooking.

The similarities between Creole and Cajun cuisines are due to the French heritage of both cultures, and the new ingredients to which French cooking techniques were applied by Creoles and by Cajuns. Both types of cooking have culinary roots in France. Creole cooking is city cooking: refined, delicate and luxurious, developed and originally prepared by servants. There is greater emphasis on cream, butter, seafood (though not shellfish), tomatoes, herbs, and garlic, and less use of cayenne pepper and file powder than in Cajun cooking, resulting in rich sauces, elegant pureed bisques, and time-intensive soups, brunch dishes, and desserts. Cajuns in Southwest Louisiana have steadfastly adhered to the preservation of their habits, traditions, and beliefs in terms of lifestyle, language and cooking. They became noticed by society during the oil boom in the mid-1900s, which brought many outlanders (non-Cajuns) into the area. These new residents began to discover the food-oriented, talented Cajun cooks whose lives and socializing revolve, to a large extent, around the preparation, sharing, and enjoyment of food. The word began to spread.

What are the main difference in Chinese and Japanese cuisine?

- Chinese cuisine likes to mix things together (stir fries, sechuan chicken, etc) and serves each different dish in succession. Often there will be only one dish of food at the table at a time and everyone will share. Chinese food uses a lot of oil (all that frying), and a lot of sweetening. Chinese food also makes a lot of use of more "exotic" ingredients, like coconut and bat, has more meat than Japanese food. -Japanese cuisine keeps everything very separated when it's served, even something like noodles and tempura with soy sauce will have the soy sauce in a dipping dish, the noodles on one plate and the tempura on another, and then things are combined, mixed, or dipped only as you eat them (this has changed somewhat in the past two decades as more chinese and korean style foods are imported, but it's still a good basic principle). All dishes will typically be served at once, and except for things that need to be kept hot or cooked at the table, each person will usually have their own portion on a separate dish. Japanese foods are also drier, less oily.
