About Us
Welcome to Cousin Boudreaux’s Cajun Foods, where tradition, laughter, and flavor come together!
Our story began in 1999 when Larry Boudreaux, a natural storyteller, published his first joke book, "Dat Boudreaux Ain't Me, It's Ma Cousin." In 2007, Larry married Caroline, an extraordinary Cajun cook whose first cookbook, "Caroline Boudreaux's Cajun Comfort Food," showcased her talent for capturing the rich, bold flavors of Louisiana. Together, their shared creativity led them to develop Cajun seasonings and dip mixes, blending Larry’s humor and Caroline’s culinary expertise to bring the essence of Cajun culture to life.
It wasn’t long before Cousin Boudreaux evolved into more than just books and recipes. In 2009, Larry and Caroline launched Cousin Boudreaux’s General Store, an online store dedicated to sharing the rich flavors and vibrant culture of Louisiana with customers everywhere. From their Cajun seasonings and dip mixes to Caroline’s cookbooks and Larry’s joke books, the store became a virtual destination for anyone craving authentic Cajun products. Their passion for storytelling and cooking brought the heart of Louisiana into homes across the country, one package at a time. Cousin Boudreaux’s seasonings and dip mixes quickly earned a loyal following, bringing the vibrant, bold flavors of Louisiana into kitchens far and wide. Over time, the brand evolved, focusing on prepackaged seasoning blends that make it easy to create authentic Cajun meals at home.
A New Chapter Begins
On December 1, 2024, Cousin Boudreaux’s Cajun Foods was purchased by Cajun Depot, a small, family-owned business deeply rooted in Louisiana culture. Led by Dale and Kerry Thornton, along with their three adult children—Caleb, Cole, and Caroline—and supported by their three adorable grandchildren, Cajun Depot shares the same passion for celebrating the rich flavors of Cajun cuisine.
The Thornton family is proud to carry forward the Cousin Boudreaux legacy, blending tradition with fresh energy and innovation. Together, we’re committed to keeping Cousin Boudreaux a trusted name for authentic Cajun seasonings, bringing the heart and soul of Louisiana to kitchens everywhere.
