For all that think tomatoes don't belong in jambalaya - sorry, but nobody who matters agrees with you.
List of top Louisiana cookbooks that have jambalaya recipes containing tomatoes:
The Picayune's Creole Cookbook
Who's Your Mama . . - Marcel Bienvenu
Plantation Cookbook
River Road Recipes (I)
La Bouche Creole - Leon Soniat
Louisiana Cookery - Mary Land
Gourmet's Guide to New Orleans
Cajun Cuisine: Authentic Cajun Recipes from La's Bayou Country
Creole Feast
Talk About Good!
Cajun Men Cook
Jambalaya
Louisiana Kitchen - Prudhomme
Jambalaya, Crawfish Pie, File Gumbo
Creole and Acadian - Time-Life Foods of the World
Encyclopedia of Cajun & Creole Cooking - Folse
Cajun Home Cooking - Alex Patout
Real Cajun - Donald Link
Tellingly, there was not a single cookbook that I checked that didn't have a jambalaya recipe with some form of tomatoes.
Note:
Top 10 Cajun and Creole Cookbooks
1) Plantation Cookbook
2) American Cooking: Creole & Acadian (Time-Life Food of the World Series)
3) River Road Recipes vol I
4) Creole Feast: 15 Master Chefs of N.O. Reveal Their Secrets
5) La Bouche Creole
6) Who's Your Mama, Are You Catholic and Can You make a Roux?
7) Gourmet's Guide to New Orleans
8) Cajun Cuisine:Authentic Cajun Recipes from La's Bayou Country
9) The Picayune's Creole Cookbook
10) Louisiana Cookery

Maybe we could get all these people that matter to show up at the jambalaya festival and give their "famous" recipes a shot against people that know how to cook it.
Oh and you can add Besh in to that list. He cooks with tomatoes.

Y'all are really going overboard into drama-land here. Most posters were just fricking around. We all know it EXISTS. We are all well aware of Creole version jambalaya.
Regardless, I personally don't think it's a good idea to serve to CAJUN people when it's your first time ever cooking for them. (Or ever cooking the dish)
On the same note, I wouldn't roll out some elaborate dish with exotic meats that I've never attempted to make and serve it to someone I've never cooked for before. It may be an amazing dish, but I already firmly believe you shouldn't try things you're completely unfamiliar with when you have guests.. and especially when the guests are used to the dish being made a particular way.

When I'm the one eating it, I'm the only person who matters.
I agree with LL. Throwing in a few chopped tomatoes is NOT "tomato based". It's simply an error in judgment. Tomato based is a travesty.
