American
Some wonderful recipes have crossed the Atlantic: Delia's versions of burgers, key lime pie, meatloaf and chef's salad are real culinary highlights.
Serves 6-8 as a main courseAmerican Chef's Salad
With 30% of food being thrown away, this recipe is a good way of making sure you use up those odds and ends in the salad drawer, plus any bits of cured meat lying around! Use whatever you like - or try Delia's favourite combinations.
Serves 4-6American Blue-cheese Dressing
Just what your burgers have been missing! This American classic is very easy to make and adds plenty of flavour to burgers and grilled meats.
Serves 4All-American Half-pounders
There really is no need to buy burgers when it's this easy to make your own: Delia rustles up a authentic version of this American classic, which will go down well with adults and children alike.
Makes enough for a 12-14 lb (5.5-6.5 kg) turkeyAmerican Turkey Stuffing
Pork, apples, walnuts and herbs feature in this wonderful stuffing recipe, given to Delia by an American family at a Thanksgiving dinner. The pork and apples add moistness, helping the turkey to remain succulent.

Serves 4Barbecued Sweetcorn
I think this is the nicest way to eat sweetcorn. Even if you don't have a barbecue going, you can still cook it under a pre-heated grill.
Serves 6-8American One-crust Pie with Spiced Apples and Raisins
This is without doubt the easiest apple pie in the world. No special pie tins needed, no lids to be cut and fitted, no tiresome fluting of edges. It's also a beginner's dream because, somehow, the more haphazard the whole thing looks, the better.
Serves 8American Meatloaf
A good recipe for a meatloaf will give you many strings to your culinary bow. Serve it hot on a cold winter's day with some buttery jacket potatoes or, if the weather is warm, it's lovely served cold with salads and chutney or pickles. You can take t
Serves 4Boston Baked Beans
This is how baked beans should be – the real American sort and not a bit like the ones that come in tins.
