Description
This paper discusses the genesis of the cuisine of Haiti which is one of a relatively limited number of cuisines in the world that is genuinely a creole cuisine. This was further cemented by the Haitian Revolution's abrupt ending of slavery and the far-reaching reduction of European influence which allowed its creolised way of life to develop in a setting that was freer of external influence than other Atlantic and Indian Ocean creole societies.
