American Cuisine
Burgers, pulled pork, mac & cheese, pancakes and Southern BBQ.
Classic Walnut Brownie
Classic brownie with 70% dark chocolate, crunchy walnuts and a perfectly moist, fudgy interior. The perfect balance between crispy outside and melt-in-the-mouth inside for chocolate lovers who want a bit of extra texture.
Homemade Chicken Caesar Salad
Classic Caesar salad with grilled chicken, crispy croutons, shaved parmesan, and the original sauce made with anchovies, garlic, and lemon. The most elegant appetizer anyone can prepare at home.
New York-Style Cheesecake
New York-style cheesecake is the densest, creamiest baked cheesecake of all: a digestive biscuit and butter base topped with a compact filling of cream cheese, eggs, sugar, heavy cream, and lemon zest, baked in a bain-marie so it sets without cracking. No gelatine, no whipped cream — just the full weight of cream cheese and a texture that slices clean as a block. The result keeps perfectly in the fridge for four days.
Intense Chocolate Brownie
This intense chocolate brownie is the purest version of the American classic: 70% dark chocolate melted with butter for that fudgy, dense texture that sets it apart from cake, with extra cocoa powder doubling the chocolate intensity and a touch of salt that sharpens every note. The secret to the right texture is not overworking the batter once the flour goes in, and pulling them from the oven while the centre still has a slight wobble.
Oil-Free Crispy Air Fryer Chicken
Air fryer crispy chicken is the home version of American fried chicken, achieved without gallons of oil. The thighs are coated in cornstarch, smoked paprika, garlic powder, and cayenne, then the air fryer does the work: skin that crackles at first bite, juicy meat inside, done in thirty-five minutes. Far less fat than the deep-fried original, and just as satisfying.
Perfect Airfryer French Fries
Air fryer chips done right — crispy outside, fluffy inside, with barely any oil. The secret is drying the potato pieces thoroughly, cutting them evenly, and not overcrowding the basket. A touch of olive oil, garlic powder, and salt is all you need. Ready in about 25 minutes and goes with just about anything.
American-Style Chocolate Brownie
The American brownie traces back to late 19th-century Chicago and remains the definitive dense chocolate treat. This version uses 70% dark chocolate melted with butter for that fudgy, almost molten centre under a slightly crisp top. Extra cocoa powder doubles the chocolate intensity, while optional walnuts add textural contrast. The key is pulling them from the oven just when the centre is still barely set.
Hawaiian Poke Bowl
Poke bowls trace their roots to Hawaiian fishermen who seasoned the catch of the day with soy sauce and sesame oil right on the boat. This version uses sashimi-grade salmon cubed and briefly marinated, served over Japanese rice with edamame, avocado, cucumber, and wakame seaweed. Fresh, light, and ready in twenty minutes once the rice is cooked.
Oven-Baked BBQ Ribs
Oven BBQ ribs work in two stages: first a slow three-hour bake covered in a spice dry rub until the meat pulls away from the bone; then a quick blast under the grill with BBQ sauce to lacquer and caramelise the outside. The result is tender, juicy ribs with that sweet-smoky flavour of American Southern barbecue.
American Banana Bread
American banana bread is a moist, dense quick bread born from the need to use up overripe bananas that nobody wants to eat fresh — the blacker and softer they are, the sweeter and more fragrant the loaf. Mixed together with flour, eggs, butter, sugar, and baking soda, with optional chopped walnuts and chocolate chips. Baked at a moderate temperature for an hour, it fills the kitchen with an aroma worth waking up for.
Crispy Chicken Wings in Airfryer
Crispy chicken wings are an American staple, and the air fryer does them justice: crackling golden skin outside, juicy meat within, using a fraction of the oil of deep frying. A dry rub of garlic powder, smoked paprika and salt pulls moisture from the skin before cooking, setting up that crunch you then finish with buffalo or barbecue sauce.
American Cuisine: cooking guide
American cooking goes far beyond burgers and hot dogs. Pulled pork smoked for hours, creamy oven mac & cheese, Sunday chili for the whole week, New York cheesecake and sky-high pancakes. American comfort food in its purest form.
