Chapter 45: Vermont Recipes Chapter 46: Virginia Recipes Chapter 47: Washington Recipes Chapter 48: West Virginia Recipes Chapter 49: Wisconsin Recipes Chapter 50: Wyoming Recipes For this cookbook series, I explored the food cultures in Asia, the Caribbean, Europe, Latin America, and North Africa. I had much interest in the so-called exotic cuisines that were quickly becoming popular. Americans were searching outside the country for inspiration and sustenance, and this curiosity was really something worth supporting. It was an awesome experience traveling the world, sampling new dishes and picking up ideas, and then trying out all I had gathered back home right in my own kitchen. Soon after I was done writing the series, I looked inward with a newfound passion for local American foods. I felt a spark burning while I was starting my book tour in the Pacific Northwest. Maybe the colorful Pacific oysters in the Pike Place Market in Seattle had to do with it. Or perhaps, it was the season's first Copper River salmon, grilled to perfection and paired with an Oregon Pinot Noir that’s flowery and fruity. Or it could be my first time to sample caramelized Kasu cod at Seattle's Dahlia Lounge. I can't tell for sure. All I knew was that I had to begin writing the U.S Cookbook "Tasting The United States 365"!
