Enjoy the flavors of the USA One of the greatest pleasures of traveling is sampling the mouthwatering local foods. Do you recall an item that you would love to enjoy again, such as Chicago Deep-Dish Pizza, Southern Fried Chicken or Mississippi Mud Cake? You'll find those classic regional recipes right here in Taste of Home Recipes Across America. Divided into five regions (Northeast, South, Midwest, Southwest, and West), Recipes Across America offers 735 delectable specialties enjoyed by locals, including unforgettable dishes using regional produce. You'll even discover ethnic specialties
passed down through generations that became hometown favorites.
Best of all, these dishes are shared by real family cooks just

Haven Clam Pizza, Authentic Boston Brown Bread, Buffalo Chicken
Wings, Amish Sugar Cookies and Brooklyn Blackout Cake South: Shrimp Po-Boys, South Carolina-Style Ribs, Bacon
Collard Green, Cheese 'n' Grits Casserole, Georgia Peanut Salsa,

landmarks are scattered among the pages. And as a bonus, you'll also find food folklore, recipe histories
and fun food facts. For example, did you know that though Coney Island evokes images
of amusement parks, the beach and New York, Chili Coney Dogs are
not from New York. These hot dogs are actually natives of Detroit.
The dogs are topped with beanless chili, some onions and yellow
mustard. Cincinnatians top theirs with shredded cheese and call
them cheesy Coneys. You can plan a Southern summertime barbecue, feed hungry hands
with Tex-Mex, enjoy the silky smoothness of maple syrup pie, have
a German celebration for Okoberfest, or dine as the Hollywood
stars do with a Classic Cobb Salad. With Recipes Across
America, the country is yours from coast to coast. pub date: 2013-09-12 | Hardcover | 9781617651526 |
