Over the years, I have come across a number of Creole recipes, but have always erred on the side of caution. From a very young age, I became aware of how some 'ethnic' cuisines can be misconstrued or misrepresented to suit the taste buds and perceptions of the host community. Saucy pasta dishes, doughy pizza bases and fiery curries. For example, in the U.K, a curry night out for the modern lad or ladette sometimes comprises of eating an Indian style curry so hot it burns the roof of your mouth. No self-respecting South Asian family would touch such a dish, let alone eat it. Food should be about flavour.
