USA

Stretching from sea to shining sea (and even beyond), the United States is an immense country with an amazing diversity of landscapes, climates, and regional cuisines. Across the regions, local ingredients offer tremendous variation -- some are indigenous (corn, squash, turkey) but a great many were introduced by new arrivals (wheat, pigs, cattle). Cuisines of the world rarely stand still; they are always evolving. This is perhaps particularly true in the United States, a nation of immigrants. As they moved across the land, settling down in new areas, their food traditions mingled. The local cuisines absorbed and incorporated the new, and together they evolved. Gradually, regional identification took shape, even as ethnic traditions held firm. The United States offers an embarrassment of culinary riches -- a smorgasbord of world cuisines, where the regional mingles with the international. There’s Tex-Mex in Toledo, Szechuan in Schenectady, barbecued ribs in Boston, Mongolian in Minneapolis, Buffalo wings in Boise…and on and on.

Mama D's Italian Bread

Reviewed on Jul. 6, 2008 by Underboss
This was my first attempt at making Italian bread and it came out great. About 5 minutes before it came out of the oven I brushed it with egg whites to give it a nice golden color.

Wheat Germ Whole-Wheat Buttermilk Pancakes

Reviewed on Jul. 6, 2008 by KaryninPhilly
Very good, and since I only changed about 3 of the ingredients, I think I can legitimately provide a review. :-) I made these as waffles rather than pancakes and it worked out fine. Did not have ww pastry flour so used a combination of ww flour, rice flour and unbleached white flour (using all ww flour would likely make it too gluteny and ruin the texture). Did not have buttermilk, used yogurt with a bit of water added, worked out fine. added 1 T white sugar since the yogurt is really tart. Per other reviews, I used 1 heaping teaspoon baking soda and 1 t baking powder and the waffles rose fine. Although some reviewers here used all baking powder in place of the bs, theoretically baking soda should be necessary to provide alkalinity to balance out the acidity of the buttermilk/yogurt. Hmm, chemistry has been thwarted...

Meat Filled Manicotti

Reviewed on Jul. 6, 2008 by TR21
This is a similar version that I grew up with - the cottage cheese is much lighter than Ricotta. I used 1/2 lb of ground turkey and 1/2 lb pork sausage. I cooked the meat with garlic, shallots and onion. I make a homemade tomato sauce and a Bechemal (5 TBL butter, 4 TBL all-purpose flour, 4 C milk, 2 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp nutmeg) to go on top in order to enhance the dish. Fresh parsley is a must. The flavors are incredible.
