AMERICA
America has one of the most diverse culinary traditions of anywhere in the world. Anyone who thinks that American food starts and finishes with fast-food burgers and Southern fried chicken is missing out on the rich variety available.

As people criss-crossed the country, they adapted their favourite recipes to the local produce and, in mixed communities, adopted entirely new foods and flavours. What has evolved is the richest and most varied cuisine imaginable. Even now, new dishes are continually entering the changing repertoire. A Taste of America explores this gastronomic heritage. It takes you through America's regional cooking, passing on historical tastes with vintage recipes as well as offering new dishes made with local ingredients.
