Cuisine encompassing gumbo and jambalaya (6)

I believe the answer is:

creole

(Other definitions for creole that I've seen before include "White descendant of French ancestors as in New Orleans" , "Descendant of French settlers in Louisiana" , "One of mixed descent" , "Person of European descent born in W Indies" , "spicy cookery" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
