Like a language or an art, a living cuisine borrows, assimilates, ex­ pands. With a population so multilingual, Creole cooking has been modified with the years. A Frenchman has married an Italian girl; some Jugoslavs move into the French section; a German cousin comes to live with the Creole family- and each adds something. Take my family as an example. Though it is of Irish descent, the present generation grew up on gumbo and cafe au lait. We like jambalaya as thoroughly as any Creoles do, but we also enjoy Italian stuffed artichokes, as well as an emphatic crab mixture suggested by a Dalmatian friend from the lower Delta.
