: : I was reading lower down about master chefs and one person mentioned "american cuisine". What exactly is american cuisine, and please don't say Charlie Trotter is american cuisine.
: : Merci a l'avance
: Can you answer the question: "What is French cuisine?"
Regional American Cuisine is interesting and diverse. As a general rule regional American cuisine is influenced by three factors:
1) The old world culture of inhabitants of the area
2) indigenous ingredients of the region
3) The influence of the native Americans of the area
The result is an abundance of unique cooking styles that American Chefs are now taking to new levels.
