We've teamed up with Fire & Smoke to tell you a little about six Southern US states, shining a light on their most delicious dishes and helping you whip them up at home.

Louisiana
Here the guiding philosophy is "
laissez les bon temps rouler" meaning "let the good times roll" and it's reflected in all areas of Louisiana life.
With strong Spanish, French, Native American and African influences, the state's rich cultural heritage has culminated in a great love for life, which is expressed through its jazz music, the spectacular Mardi Gras celebration, and
Hogs For The Cause BBQ festival.
It's a complete melting pot and they make for the
best foodie destinations.
Culinary mishmashes gave rise to the Cajun and Creole dishes like gumbo (a spicy meat stew with celery, bell peppers and onions), muffuletta sandwiches (flattened focaccia-like bread with fillings of ham, mortadella and salami) and po' boys (a crusty baguette overflowing with sloppy roast beef).
But the most famous Louisiana dish has to be the hearty jambalaya, often made with smoked sausage, rice and the 'Holy Trinity' of onion, celery, and green bell pepper...
How tempting does that look? We reckon you’ll love this drool-inducing recipe for this tasty Louisiana Style Ham & Sausage Jambalaya.
