Western USA

The American West is big country. It takes in the vast high plains, the rugged mountain states, the arid Southwest, and the verdant Pacific Northwest. The cuisine that has grown up here reflects this diversity. It can be as simple as a buffalo burger tossed on an open flame or as well-heeled as a wine dinner served in a fancy San Francisco restaurant. There’s spicy Southwest cuisine from Arizona and New Mexico and delicate Asian-inspired cuisine along the coastal stretches of California, Oregon, and Washington. And let’s not forget that here in the West the wild salmon makes its last stand. Yes, there’s much to the claim that the West is best.

Apple-Bacon Green Beans

Reviewed on Aug. 19, 2008 by Caroline C
Not bad but not great. I cut back on the amount of apple, and also omitted the parsley. Oh, and I used fresh green beans. The dressing was good, if a little sweet. This was nice for a change but I won't be making it again. Thanks anyway!

Hudson's Baked Tilapia with Dill Sauce

Reviewed on Aug. 19, 2008 by Caroline C
The dill sauce is absolutely delicious, and complements the fish perfectly. The recipe makes WAY too much of it though - next time, I will halve it. You need to keep an eye on the fish - my fillets were pretty thin, and were done in about 12 minutes. Thanks!

Pears in Chocolate Sauce

Reviewed on Aug. 19, 2008 by SunnyByrd
Great idea! My pears discolored a bit in the pot despite following the lemon juice instruction. I cored them from the bottom to keep the stems intact and only cooked mine for about 5 minutes before removing them from the heat - and they were perfectly tender without being mushy. I skipped the coffee liquor and maraschino, added a little vanilla to the chocolate and garnished with lemon zest and sugared almonds. Very pretty and delicious, thanks!
