Bronx Cook Book
The word "cuisine" comes from French and means both "kitchen" and "cooking." In the U.S., the word has come to mean "style of cooking" and is generally applied to the food prepared by various cultures such as Italians, who work wonders with pasta, Chinese, who can invent the most tasty dishes from almost any ingredient, as well as the distinctive style of French chefs, with their savory sauces. All of these cuisines can certainly be found in The Bronx, yet Bronx cuisine is not so easily categorized because it cannot be defined by the stereotypical fare associated with any particular cultural group. As this collection of Bronx recipes illustrates, “Bronx cuisine” surely is not only a hot dog at Yankee Stadium, however great that might taste!
