American Cuisine Recipes

What is American cuisine, really? It's a little bit of everything, a collection of cultures, traditions, and flavors all coming together. Being American myself, I love that freedom to mix classic comfort foods with global influences, and you’ll see that come through in my cooking.

If you're looking for a cozy classic, start with my Creamy Garlic Mashed Potatoes. Or if you want something a little lighter but still full of comfort, try my Air Fried Chicken Lemon Pepper Wings!

Hi, I'm Lola

Just your not so average girl next door who loves all things food. I was born in Paris, France to a tribe of women who love to cook and bake! I bring you quick and easy recipes from all over the world, but my heart (and taste buds) belong to Mediterranean cuisine. As a mom and stepmom to four kids, quick and delicious is my goal!
