Ask most people what they believe constitutes ‘American Food’ and they‘ll almost invariably answer: hamburgers, hotdogs and fries. All of which actually have European origins, with two being named after German cities (Hamburg and Frankfurt, home of the frankfurter, aka ’hotdog'). But the truth is, there’s plenty of indigenous American food that’s made its way across the pond – think: pumpkin pie, popcorn and pancakes – and plenty that hasn’t yet, like succotash and okra.
But it’s time for all that to change. Here, I’ve come up with a bunch of Vegan American Recipes that are perfect not only for the 4th of July, but any time you’re feeling some love for the red, white and blue.
