Richmond, Virginia

Ham biscuits are the signature dish, but there is so much more to savor in this revitalizing city on the James River. The cuisine of Richmond is heavily influenced by it’s southern history, but also by it’s proximity to the Chesapeake and Atlantic. These days you are as likely to find crab cakes on the menu as you are hush puppies. The long summers mean cookouts are common for 7 months out of the year. Any block party in Richmond is incomplete without deviled eggs, ice tea, and hot dogs. Of course it’s also not uncommon to see a bucket of oysters on the patio fresh and ready to be shucked and slurped right out of the shell. Downtown’s Shockoe Slip and Fan neighborhoods are dotted with bistros that serve everything from trendy creations worthy of any of the bigger metropolises to the north to comfortable home cooked fare perfect for a lazy afternoon or evening. Of course there is also the aforementioned ham biscuits, be sure not to leave town without trying them.

About me: I love baking, and I hope that I soon will be just as good of a cook as my parents. I have two dogs, one is a pure breed pug, and one is a pug and pekingnese mix.

Ma Ma's Sugar Cookies

Reviewed on jul. 4, 2009 by DEANA 
Very delicious. I iced these with butter cream, and sprinkled them with colored sugar. My husband loved these even more than our daughter...who has an insatiable sweet tooth. I didn't have butter flavored crisco, but added some butter flavoring, and they were great.

Peas and Celery

Reviewed on jul. 2, 2009 by Megan 
Interesting idea, but the celery added a strange smell to the dish - I love the lemon pepper, though. Will probably make this another time without celery ...

Ranch Burgers

Reviewed on jul. 1, 2009 by AmandaT 
I followed the recommendation of others and doubled the amount of ranch dressing mix. It made it a bit salty for our taste but very flavorful. I will try this again per the recipe.
