American
I used to think that American food was simple – hot dogs, hamburgers, etc. But across America is an incredible range of distinctly flavorful regional cuisines: Southern comfort soul foods, TexMex, Californian healthy fusion creations, Midwestern farm-to-table, Hawaiian Polynesian, etc. Having lived on the East Cost, in the South, in California and Hawaii, we’ve had the blessing to taste and fall in love with America’s different regional cuisines and exceptional restaurants. Here are our best vegetarian recreations of some of our favorite dishes. Enjoy!
