← All cuisinesAmerican Sunday dinners
Regional cooking that mostly refuses to be one thing: a grill tradition, a baking tradition, a fried-chicken tradition and a casserole tradition that share a continent and not much else. These plans lean toward the honest end of it — a piece of meat cooked properly, a couple of vegetable sides that are not an afterthought, and dessert treated as part of the plan rather than a bolt-on.
