Europe

Although the cuisines of France and Italy are the most well-known, serious eaters should venture off of Europe’s culinary beaten-path to experience more of the continent’s exceptionally varied fare. Shaped in part by climate and available natural resources, every European country enjoys its own distinctive cooking style and signature dishes. In the warm, temperate south, Mediterranean flavors prevail, with olive oil and a wide variety of seafood, vegetables, and legumes often featured in regional specialties. Moving north -- to areas with harsher winter climates -- hearty, comforting dishes, and preserved foods, like pickled vegetables and smoked fish, are commonly eaten.

About me:
I've been an expat for 2 1/2 years now, and although I sometimes have trouble getting the ingredients I need (how can a country with such a healthy relationship to baked goods not sell real vanilla extract?!), I love making traditional American favorites for my friends here. I like being able to show the Germans that American food indeed does not stop at hamburgers and fries.

Marinated Baked Pork Chops

Reviewed on jul. 5, 2009 by mmsparkle 
Tried this recipe before realising we didn't have any ketchup... used tomato salsa instead. Didn't smell great when cooking, but tasted really good. Cooked 4 pork chops in this sauce in the slow cooker for 3 hours. Was really pleased with the result.

Chile Garlic BBQ Salmon

Reviewed on jul. 5, 2009 by slashignore 
I did make a few changes, I only had powdered garlic and ginger and I didn't add the sugar but it was really good and I'll do it again, this time with fresh spices :) Thank you

Horseradish Sauce

Reviewed on jul. 4, 2009 by EILISH40 
As it is printed it is a great idea for a sauce but, for us, needed lots more horseradish plus extra dill (fresh of course) to taste. Wonderful for dipping or on roast beef. Even good on broiled salmon. Will be used often
