## What is American Cuisine?

American Cuisine, Dinners and Easy Meal Ideas, With more than 10,000 dishes compiled by category for easy search.

The cuisine of the United States reflects its history. The European colonization of the Americas yielded the introduction of a number of ingredients and cooking styles to the latter. The various styles continued expanding well into the 19th and 20th centuries, proportional to the influx of immigrants from many different nations; such influx developed a rich diversity in food preparation throughout the country.

Early Native Americans utilized a number of cooking methods in early American Cuisine that have been blended with early European cooking methods to form the basis of American Cuisine. When the colonists came to the colonies, they farmed animals for clothing and meat in a similar fashion to what they had done in Europe. They had cuisine similar to their previous British cuisine. The American colonial diet varied depending on the settled region in which someone lived. Commonly hunted game included deer, bear, buffalo, and wild turkey. A number of fats and oils made from animals served to cook much of the colonial foods. Prior to the Revolution, New Englanders consumed large quantities of rum and beer, as maritime trade provided them relatively easy access to the goods needed to produce these items: rum was the distilled spirit of choice, as the main ingredient, molasses, was readily available from trade with the West Indies. In comparison to the northern colonies, the southern colonies were quite diverse in their agricultural diet and did not have a central region of culture.

### 5/5 — Everything's fine

*2019-11-04, version 1.1*

Everything's fine. Just have small problem that I want to create my own recipe, if the application can let me store my own recipe, I will give 5 stars.

### 5/5 — I've been using this app for years

*2019-11-04, version 1.1*

I've been using this app for years to help inspire some tasty meal and desserts to feed my family with. I will admit, I did prefer it when recently uploaded recipes where down as a stream, so that I was able to view all kinds of wonderful dishes without having to do the searching myself. I found it helped broaden my scope of ideas to try new cuisines, ideas, flavours etc... Now it's limited to the cold you follow which can be limiting and very samey samey, if you know what I mean.

### 5/5 — recipe

This is an indispensable application every time I cook. I just need to choose the ingredients which I currently have, there will be a lot of different recipes.

### 5/5 — anyone

*2019-10-12, version 1.1*

I love the app as i can pick and choose and sort recipes into categories that i choose. The only thing i don't like is that there is no website that i can find where anyone can go to print out a saved recipe. That frustrating for me.

### 5/5 — I love this

*2019-09-26, version 1.1*
