Baltimore, Maryland

In the late 19th century, Baltimore was the second largest US port-of-entry for European immigrants. Add its location sitting on an arm of the grand Chesapeake Bay (the largest estuary in the country), and it’s easy to understand why Baltimore’s food traditions are rich and diverse, blended with African- and Native-American cooking styles, and always served with Southern hospitality. Low profile perhaps, but, one of the North America’s oldest regional cuisines rich with dishes starring succulent blue crab, rock fish, fresh clams, Chincoteague oysters, waterfowl, country hams, chicken, summer sweet corn, and barbecued meats. Add sauerkraut—always served with Thanksgiving turkey--shoofly pie, stews, crab boils, crab cakes, and what’s not to like?

About me:
My partner and I have been vegetarian for since the fall of 2002, so options for eating out have become a lot more limited (not that there aren't a couple of great places in town that are veggie friendly). Plus, I definitely get a lot of satisfaction from cooking a tasty meal for my friends.

Slow Cooker Cranberry Pork

Reviewed on Nov. 29, 2009 by LADYSLEW 
My family has been making this for many years; it is my daughter's favorite dinner. We usually serve it with mashed potatoes and fresh green beans. I have tried other cranberry and pork recipes and been disappointed - this is the best!

Slow Cooker Cranberry Roast

Reviewed on Nov. 29, 2009 by LADYSLEW 
I made this with a pork loin because I didn't have all the ingredients to make the Taste of Home "Slow Cooker Cranberry Pork" recipe which can be found on this site. I was disappointed and will not make again.

Bean Soup With Kale

Reviewed on Nov. 29, 2009 by SPUNKEE83 
Rave reviews all around! So tasty and nourishing! I made this soup twice - once with 2 cans of canellli beans, and once with 1 can chick peas + 1 can kidney beans. Both are delicious. Instead of plum tomatoes, I used a can of diced tomatoes with oregano and basil - gave the broth some extra savoriness. I'm about to forward this recipe to my mother and my best friend!
