Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Called the Cradle of Liberty and Birthplace of the Nation, Philadelphia was where both the Declaration of Independence was signed and the United States Constitution. The City of Brotherly Love was settled first by Dutch, British, Irish, Scandinavians and Germans. Italian immigrants created what would become the famous Philly cheese steak and the pepper pot, while Americans of German decent developed regional wonders like scrapple, shoofly pie, the soft pretzel, and “plain and plenty” dishes like the chicken pot pie. Over the years, Philadelphia has grown in cultural and ethnic diversity, with large Puerto Rican, Jamaican, Asian, and Hispanic populations adding richness to the city’s stellar culinary scene.

About me: Hi, im a college student in Philadelphia who enjoys cooking at the beginning of the week and then eating leftovers later to save time. I like good comfort food as much as low carb healthy meals.

Soft Pretzels I

Reviewed on Jan. 7, 2009 by J.Sue

Crisp on the outside, soft on the inside. The bigger the better! Perhaps a bit more flour could be used when making the dough. I also baked them for 3 minutes before boiling and this helped to maintain the shape.

Delicious Ham and Potato Soup

Reviewed on Jan. 7, 2009 by WHSPRS

Ok...in all fairness, I've never eaten potato soup before and THIS is the only potato soup I'll be eating ever again. Was looking for a recipe for split pea for my ham bone and found this instead. Prepared it exactly as written...10-star YUM...5 from me and 5 from the hubby!
