I was talking just the other day with a friend…who is an apple pie expert of sorts…
and she was telling me about the very best apple pie…her favorite … but before I tell
you the very best pie ingredients…. you should know…apple pie is made with apples…
crust, sugar and spices…the best spice to use is cinnamon! With lots of sugar —
the sweeter the better…you can make sure that your apple pie is made with these,
and then to top it off… Pie ala mode with not regular vanilla, but French vanilla
ice cream. You can try other combinations of spices or other things…but sandy
swears this is the best..and she would know!

If you ever find yourself in California, don’t leave without
trying the signature California cuisine! California is known for
trying new combinations of ingredients, even if they are not
mainstream America. Fresh produce is used every time to
create food that is healthy and tastes like it. Traditionally, cooks
avoid using too many ingredients at once. The idea is to produce
food that relies on the natural taste of the food rather than
lots of ingredients that convolute the palate. Is there one type of
California cuisine? The answer is no, experimentation is however
the common denominator, with cooks never making the same dish
twice exactly the same.
