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 course

American 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 4-6

American 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 4

All-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.

Serves 4

Potato and Apple Rosti

Particularly good with pork, due to the affinity between that meat and apples, this lovely rosti recipe is one that you will make again and again. The apples also add extra flavour.

Serves 6

Hot Chocolate Fudge Sundaes

Although this sublime chocolate dessert includes home-made (and very easy!) vanilla ice cream, if time is short you could always cheat and use a good bought one, then just add the hot chocolate sauce and toppings. Easy!

Makes enough for a 12-14 lb (5.5-6.5 kg) turkey

American 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 2

Californian Grilled Fish

Spread home-made tartare sauce, breadcrumbs and cheese over any white fish fillets for a lunch or supper dish in minutes. Who says fast food is a bad idea?

Serves 2 as main course or 4 as starter

Rosti Crab Cakes

Using crab in these rosti is a brilliant idea as the richness of the crab meat is offset by the potato and the crispy result is totally irresistible. Serve them with Delia's Pickled Limes.
