Hello!

My name is Allyson Elizabeth D'Angelo and I am really excited to be BellaOnline.com's newest American Regional Cuisine Editor!

My weekly newsletter, which will be emailed to you every Monday, will contain a link to my weekly article and also links to other related articles as they are posted.

Information such as food history, reviews on books that I own or rely on for solid cooking references, maybe equipment and household gadgets that I find are helpful and are worth the money. Any resources that I feel will be of use to an avid cook who is looking for a way to be creative and has a passion for regional cooking.

My goal is to make American Regional Cuisine at BellaOnline.com a study and resource library. Whether you are a novice cook, a student in college looking for something fun and easy to make or maybe a culinary student looking for a point of view, then I want to help!

I am all about family, food and the people who create both - you and me! I love being creative in the kitchen and that starts with a great recipe idea which can be adjusted to suit all of us. I love to share recipe ideas so that we all can increase our creativity.

All of my recipes at American Regional Cuisine are original creations or adaptations of old recipes, which have been tested over and over in my kitchen. I love to include a variety of suggestions that will hopefully be beneficial to you and inspire creativity. I use fresh and local ingredients whenever possible, as I strongly believe that dishes taste far better when doing so.

As I am family oriented, I try to include ways to be palate friendly to children. I will also give alternate cooking methods, whether it be the stove top, slow cooker, pressure cooker, barbeque or oven.
