      Really good

  • Shrimp and grits

    • Rinshin on July 04, 2017

      Very easy and tasty shrimp and grits recipe. Instead of using chicken stock, I made shrimp stock first from the shrimp shells and used that for grits as well as the sauce for the shrimp. To change up a bit, I added quickly boiled green beans to the sauce and that worked out great. Will be adding something green to shrimp and grits in the future too.

  • Hanky pankies

    • jenmacgregor18 on March 02, 2017

      I didn't have rye bread on hand, so I used wheat. My sausage was mild, so I topped added chile flakes & pickled hot peppers. They were very good. I've made them a couple of times now with variations: added chopped green onions or roasted poblano peppers to the mix. I do prefer the wheat bread partially toasted before adding the cheese mixture, otherwise it's too soft, bordering on soggy. I can see why the drier sturdier rye would work well. But I really do like the pickled hot peppers on top.

  • Breaded pork tenderloin sandwiches

    • Smokeydoke on February 20, 2018

      This recipe was my original inspiration for the breaded pork tenderloin sandwich I make and love. However, I've changed the recipe quite a bit to suit my taste. Firstly, I use Evercrisp, which makes crispiest breading ever. I also put garlic powder and paprika into the flour mixture, it's a tad bland without it. Lastly, I finish the tenderloins with a fresh squeeze of lemon and more salt. And I put it on a luxurious brioche bun with onions, dijon mustard and mayo; no pickles, no lettuce and no tomato. I love this dish, it's a Smokey specialty.

  • Texas caviar

    • Pandan on July 17, 2024

      Easy to prepare in advance. Nice healthy side dish. I didn’t have black eyed peas and used borlotti beans instead. Also used pickled jalapeños because fresh ones are hard to get in Germany and not spicy at all. Also added some cilantro.

  • Sour cream and blueberry coffee cake

    • ldholakia on July 30, 2019

      I don't find that this tastes exactly like Hobee's coffee cake (as the recipe suggests), but I think it is actually better. Absolutely delicious - my go-to recipe for any brunch.

      I did need to cook this a lot longer than the recipe said, by 10-15 minutes. Maybe my ingredients were colder.

Mario Batali's delicious deep dive into American Regional cooking with 250 recipes--from San Diego Fish Tacos to Boston Cream Pie.

Over two years in the making, with Batali searching for truly delicious dishes from all corners of the US, this definitive cookbook features the best America has to offer. With over 250 simple recipes celebrating the treasures of the state fairs and the dishes of the local rotary clubs and ethnic groups. Batali has interpreted these regional gems with the same excitement and passion that he has approached traditional Italian food.

Covering the Northeast/New England, the Mid-Atlantic, the Gulf Coast, the Great Lakes, the Heartland, the Southwest, and the Pacific Coast, this book will share everything from the BBQ styles of Texas, the Smokeys and the Carolinas, to the seafood soups from yankee Boston to the spicy gumbos of the Gulf Coast and the berry pies of the Pacific Northwest.
All the dishes are very simple and do-able--from Philly Cheesesteaks to Marionberry cobbler. And while Batali uses recipes passed down through the generations, he also shares hints on what he would add to the recipe to take the flavor up a notch.
This is THE American cookbook you will want to own.
