Finding a mac 'n' cheese recipe just as cheesy and comforting as your childhood favorite can be a tough task. It’s believed macaroni cheese was first introduced to the nation by President Thomas Jefferson in the 1790s. Apparently, he was so taken by it during a trip to Europe, he insisted it was shipped over and served at a state dinner. But, it wasn’t until Kraft began selling macaroni cheese in the famous blue boxes during the Great Depression that its popularity grew. Today variations are endless: this crayfish version is one of our favourites.
Apple pie

Everyone has their own recipe for this true American classic. It's so closely associated with the nation that the saying ‘As American as apple pie’ dates back to the 1860s. Try an apple, plum and cinnamon skillet pie for a grown-up take on the original. There's nothing like the smell of a freshly baked pie to transport you back to your family kitchen.
