Vegan Traditional American Recipes

Our traditional American recipe collection is a cosy virtual recipe box filled with vegan, tasty, old-fashioned home-cooked meals and bakes that are homely and comforting.  Such as this hearty American Goulash, this rustic Chuckwagon Stew, and this vintage Cinnamon Streusel Cake.

We also particularly love these quick and easy Cornbread Muffins and this slow cooker Boston Brown Bread, and for tasty family meals these Red Beans and Rice and this fun Rice-a-Roni always go down a treat.

What makes American cooking interesting is that it is a mixture of influences from home cooking and traditions originating from countries such as Britain, Holland, and Italy and many more. When people from these lands migrated to the New World, they brought along their traditional recipes and over time, these recipes evolved, blending with local ingredients and new influences to develop traditional American home cooking.
