Although this cake has some cocoa in it, it is not about chocolate. The red velvet cake is a fluffy and creamy American dessert where cream cheese and buttermilk have the upper hand. We’ve used just a tad of harmless red food coloring and flavored the whole thing with lemon juice and vanilla extract.

This is not Tschirky’s original Waldorf salad. Instead, we played a little with the ‘classical’ recipe. We kept the walnuts, apples, and celery, but we substituted grapes with pineapple and tossed cognac-soaked dried fruits into the mix. No mayonnaise! And no bed of lettuce or other leafy greens, this time. Try it. It’s good!

Also known as corn pone, it’s one of the staples inherited from the Native American cuisine. It is a 30-minute job and we loved it from the first bite. You can serve it not only as a side dish, but it’s a pretty complete dish on its own. We made it with eggs, milk, sweet corn, cornflour, and Cheddar cheese, mainly, and we spiced it up with a little salsa.
