New York City

Nothing exemplifies the American "melting pot" like New York City. Arriving from far-flung places, immigrants enriched New York with their culinary traditions. Jewish specialties like pastrami and all manner of Italian and Chinese dishes tantalized New Yorkers before gradually being absorbed into the culinary culture of the entire country. If people in the world are eating it, odds are you can find it in New York City. Russians, Puerto Ricans, Middle Easterners, Greeks--the list of those who have added to the flavor of New York City spans the globe, making New York's boroughs a treasure of world cuisines. Go ahead, bite the Big Apple; you won’t be sorry.

About me:
My mom didn't cook much when I was growing up, so I didn't learn when I was young. I lived on Kraft Mac n Cheese and Lean Cuisine through college. Then I moved to South America, where you can't find many prepared foods, and I had to cook or starve. So I decided I'd better learn to cook. Ever since then, I've been teaching myself, having fun learning and experimenting.

Jiffy Cinnamon Rolls

Reviewed on Aug. 19, 2008 by RDAYK

This is a quick alternative to yeast cinnamon rolls. It does not yield the same light flaky dough as with yeast, it's more like a biscuit. I used finely chopped walnuts since I don't like raisins. It's now my favorite quick roll recipe, good for unexpected company or for a Sunday breakfast. Delicious with a fresh cup of coffee.

Banana Crumb Muffins

Reviewed on Aug. 19, 2008 by RDAYK

I baked this in a loaf pan so I had to increase the baking time. It came out superb, lighter and fluffier than your typical banana bread. I reduced the sugar to 1/2 cup since I don't like overly sweet cakes. I also added a handful of mini chocolate chips and 1/2 cup chopped walnuts. Crumb toppping was exactly enough for the loaf. This is my new favorite banana cake recipe, it's a keeper!
