Recipes by Influence

Most of the recipes on this site are not authentic international recipes. I have a lot of world traveling left to do, but my palate has done a lot of exploring right here in the U.S.! The vast majority of my recipes do exhibit some type of cultural influence, so I’ve sorted them below accordingly. My favorites are easy to decipher: Mexican, Mediterranean, and good ol’ American comfort food.
