Western USA

The American West is big country. It takes in the vast high plains, the rugged mountain states, the arid Southwest, and the verdant Pacific Northwest. The cuisine that has grown up here reflects this diversity. It can be as simple as a buffalo burger tossed on an open flame or as well-heeled as a wine dinner served in a fancy San Francisco restaurant. There’s spicy Southwest cuisine from Arizona and New Mexico and delicate Asian-inspired cuisine along the coastal stretches of California, Oregon, and Washington. And let’s not forget that here in the West the wild salmon makes its last stand. Yes, there’s much to the claim that the West is best.

Cucumber Punch

Reviewed on Aug. 21, 2008 by SunnyByrd
Yum. I used fresh lemonade instead of sugar-free mix, adjusted the water a bit and used baby cucumbers. Really different, pretty, refreshing, and simple. Thanks for the recipe!

Thai Chicken

Reviewed on Aug. 21, 2008 by SunnyByrd
The flavor of this is very good. I doubled the green curry paste and added shredded carrots and red bell peppers for color. Also, I soaked my rice noodles in COLD water for 15 minutes, then cooked in hot curry sauce for approx 5 minutes - I think the hot water method would overcook them. Overall, a great recipe. Thanks!

Thai Steamed Mussels

Reviewed on Aug. 21, 2008 by SunnyByrd
Perfect! I originally halved the recipe because I wasn't sure my boys would like it - and then had to make more. Byrdboys were drinking the broth. Definite keeper, thank you!
