Richmond, Virginia

Ham biscuits are the signature dish, but there is so much more to savor in this revitalizing city on the James River. The cuisine of Richmond is heavily influenced by it’s southern history, but also by it’s proximity to the Chesapeake and Atlantic. These days you are as likely to find crab cakes on the menu as you are hush puppies. The long summers mean cookouts are common for 7 months out of the year. Any block party in Richmond is incomplete without deviled eggs, ice tea, and hot dogs. Of course it’s also not uncommon to see a bucket of oysters on the patio fresh and ready to be shucked and slurped right out of the shell. Downtown’s Shockoe Slip and Fan neighborhoods are dotted with bistros that serve everything from trendy creations worthy of any of the bigger metropolises to the north to comfortable home cooked fare perfect for a lazy afternoon or evening. Of course there is also the aforementioned ham biscuits, be sure not to leave town without trying them.

Baked Chicken with Peaches

Reviewed on Aug. 14, 2008 by Megan
I thought this was a great recipe, but my husband and I are big fans of Caribbean and Indian cooking, which uses sweet AND spice, so I added cumin to the brown sugar before sprinkling on top of chicken and peaches. Also, didn't have cloves, so I took the advice of other reviewers and used cinnamon. Will definitely make this again - next time, maybe try mixing curry and using mango instead of peaches.

Impossible Coconut Pie II

Reviewed on Aug. 12, 2008 by coconut
I was craving coconut pie and had all the ingredients but did want to go through the time of making the crust. This hit the spot! I also made some suggested changes using more coconut and sprinkling some on top before baking, using 3 eggs instead of 4 and using coconut extract instead of vanilla. I also used butter instead of margarine. It was scrumptious warm while the top was crunchy and toasty!

Amish Macaroni Salad

Reviewed on Aug. 11, 2008 by coconut
Very good macaroni salad but you definitely have to cut down on the sugar. The Miracle Whip makes it sweet and I used sweet relish instead of dill. Omitted the onion and celery but used onion powder instead. There also is alot of dressing for the macaroni so you may need to make extra. I think this would work really well, as another review suggested, as a dressing for potato salad.
