I Write About American Cooking, One Recipe, Region, and Story at a Time.
From California citrus and Southern baking to Gulf seafood, Southwestern chiles, and heritage kitchens, American Country Living explores the recipes, regions, and traditions that have shaped the way America cooks.
FROM THE AMERICAN KITCHEN
The Stories Behind the Food We Cook
Every dish has a history. I research the people, places, and traditions behind our favorite recipes so we can cook them with a deeper understanding and appreciation.
The Story of Chicken Tetrazzini Casserole
A casserole named for an Italian opera star sounds almost too good to be true, yet Chicken Tetrazzini has been sitting comfortably in American kitchens for more than a century.
The dish belongs to the early twentieth century, when restaurant chefs regularly named elaborate preparations for celebrated singers, actors, and society figures. Tetrazzini took its name from Luisa Tetrazzini, the Florentine coloratura soprano whose fame carried her across Europe and eventually to the United States.
