American

A cuisine defined by the influence of immigrant groups and migrating food preferences, American cuisine offers many transformed dishes originating from other places, whether brought by newly minted citizens or copied due to popularity. Amplification is the hallmark of this cuisine: Bigger, Faster, Tastier. Americans go all out on big flavors. You will find this mindset reflected in the recipes here.
