• Clam chowder - This is a cream- or milk-based soup, also containing clams, flour, onions, potato, and bacon or salt pork. In New York, tomatoes are added to the dish ("Manhattan clam chowder"), whereas in New England adding tomatoes to New England clam chowder (known in some parts of the US as "Boston clam chowder") is considered a serious faux pas.
  
  
  
• Club Sandwich - A triple bread-toasted sandwich made from three slices of toast. Three are two layers of toast, one that contains chicken or turkey breast, and a second containing bacon, lettuce and tomato. Sometimes the fillings are varied, or other items may be added such as cooked egg or cheese.

The soup usually contains assorted assorted meat, smoked pork or sausage, and shellfish. The dish originates from Cajun and Creole cuisine, but has also become popular along the whole coast of the Gulf Mexico, and is available in numerous Soul Food restaurants too.
  
  
  
• Jambalaya - This is Cajun and Creole cuisine's adaptation of Spanish cuisine's paella. It uses tomatoes instead of saffron for flavoring (since saffron was hard to obtain in the New World), and as well as rice contains assorted local meat, seafood and vegetables.
  
  
  
• Johnny cakes - Fried pancakes made from cornmeal.
  
  
• Key lime pie - This dessert is made from key limes (which are small limes native to the Florida Keys), egg yolks, and sweetened condensed milk, all in a pie crust.

• Spam teriyaki - Spam (the canned meat product by the Hormel Food Corporation) is very popular in Hawaii. Hawaiian cuisine has also adopted Japanese cuisine's teriyaki style of cooking (cooking meat in a sweet soy sauce, known as "teriyaki sauce"), and the two have thus been combined to create spam teriyaki.

The Cooking Gene: A Journey Through African American Culinary History in the Old South By Michael W. Twitty Twitty Michael W Released: 2017-08-01 Hardcover (464 pages) List Price: $28.99* Lowest New Price: $13.28* Lowest Used Price: $18.45* Usually ships in 24 hours* *(As of 00:38 Pacific 21 Aug 2017 More Info) Click Here The Cooking Gene A Journey Through African American Culinary History in the Old South Product Description: A renowned culinary historian offers a fresh perspective on our most divisive cultural issue, race, in this illuminating memoir of Southern cuisine and food culture that traces his ancestry—both black and white—through food, from Africa to America and slavery to freedom. Southern food is integral to the American culinary tradition, yet the question of who "owns" it is one of the most provocative touch points in our ongoing struggles over race. In this unique memoir, culinary historian Michael W. Twitty takes readers to the white-hot center of this fight, tracing the roots of his own family and the charged politics surrounding the origins of soul food, barbecue, and all Southern cuisine. From the tobacco and rice farms of colonial times to plantation kitchens and backbreaking cotton fields, Twitty tells his family story through the foods that enabled his ancestors’ survival across three centuries. He sifts through stories, recipes, genetic tests, and historical documents, and travels from Civil War battlefields in Virginia to synagogues in Alabama to Black-owned organic farms in Georgia. As he takes us through his ancestral culinary history, Twitty suggests that healing may come from embracing the discomfort of the Southern past. Along the way, he reveals a truth that is more than skin deep—the power that food has to bring the kin of the enslaved and their former slaveholders to the table, where they can discover the real America together.

Dinner: Changing the Game By Melissa Clark CLARKSON POTTER Released: 2017-03-07 Hardcover (400 pages) List Price: $35.00* Lowest New Price: $16.70* Lowest Used Price: $16.25* Usually ships in 24 hours* *(As of 00:38 Pacific 21 Aug 2017 More Info) Click Here CLARKSON POTTER Product Description: More than 200 all-new, never-before-published recipes for dishes that are “familiar but fresh, approachable but exciting.” (Yotam Ottolenghi)   Each recipe in Dinner is meant to be dinner—one fantastic dish that is so satisfying and flavor-forward it can stand alone—or be paired with a simple salad or fresh bread on the side. This is what Melissa Clark means by changing the game.   Dinner is all about options: inventive, unfussy food with unexpected flavor. Clark’s mission is to help anyone—whether a novice with just a single pan or the experienced home cook—figure out what to make any night of the week without settling on fallbacks.  These inherently simple recipes can turn anyone into a better and more confident cook.   Organized by main ingredient—chicken, meat, fish and seafood, eggs, pasta and noodles, tofu, vegetable dinners, grains, pizza, soups, and salads that mean it—Dinner covers an astonishing breadth of recipes. There is something for every mood, season, and the amount of time you have: sheet pan chicken laced with spicy harissa, burgers amped with chorizo, curried lentils with poached eggs; and if you want just a little something else, you’ll find green beans with caper vinaigrette, coconut rice, and skillet brown-butter cornbread, to name just a few dishes in this indispensable collection. Here, too, are easy flourishes that make dinner exceptional: stir charred lemon into pasta, toss creamy Caesar-like dressing on a grain bowl, add fresh ricotta and demerara sugar to stovetop mac and cheese; lavish a dollop of chile paste just about anywhere.     Melissa Clark, the New York Times bestselling author and one of the most beloved food writers of our generation, has written a comprehensive and practical book that reflects the way she cooks at home for her family and on those rare nights when she’s alone. *** Praise for Melissa Clark's Dinner: "The recipes in Melissa Clark’s Dinner are everything I want for my dinner. Dishes which are familiar but fresh, approachable but exciting. The tone of the book is also just the sort of company I’d want around my table: Melissa is experienced enough in the kitchen to know that being relaxed is the only way to approach the evening meal. It should be fun, it should be easy, it should be delicious."—YOTAM OTTOLENGHI   “Melissa Clark has an extrasensory ability to divine what we want to eat and a secret knowledge of how to take a familiar dish and make it just a little more interesting. In following her lead, dinner gets more delicious and we become better cooks.” —PETER MEEHAN   “Dinner is an expertly useful tool for the home cook. Melissa Clark has stripped away fussiness and pretension and replaced it with sensibility and flavor. This is food that you will absolutely crave!” —MICHAEL SOLOMONOV
