Creole is a style of cuisine that originated in New Orleans, Louisiana that combines aspects of French, Spanish, African, and Native American cooking. The style is based on French soups and stews, while incorporating tomatoes, onions, peppers, celery, okra, and local seafood such as crawfish, shrimp, and oysters.
