What defines United States cooking

American cooking draws on regional traditions built around simple, hearty staples: butter anchors much of its baking, while dishes lean on the savory base of onion and garlic. Home cooks encounter a mix of grilling, frying, and baking, with comfort foods like casseroles, pies, and sandwiches showing up often. Portions tend to be generous, and sweet and savory flavors are frequently combined in the same meal.
