This ebook cookbook is FREE for the next couple of days - Philadelphia Recipes
Philadelphia cuisine is not limited to cheese steak. In reality, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania is a mecca for original recipes and food dishes that have become so ingrained in the American culture, many people don’t realize their origins or association with the City of Brotherly Love, as the locals call it. The city was founded by William Penn, who is the namesake for state of Pennsylvania.
Philadelphia or “Philly” is one of the oldest cities in the United States. It is the economic anchor to the area known as the “Delaware Valley” which is a valley through which the Delaware River flows.
If visiting Philadelphia, you must visit Independence Hall, where the Declaration of Independence was signed and which houses one of the original copies of the famous document. It also houses the famous cracked Liberty Bell which was rung during the first public reading of the Declaration of Independence.
Other landmarks include the Philadelphia Museum of Art which has the famous steps that Sylvester Stallone ran up while training in the first Rocky movie. Near these 72 stone steps, known as the "Rocky Steps," is the statue of Rocky Balboa, which was made for the movie, "Rocky III" and donated to the city by Sylvester Stallone after filming was complete.
Besides Sylvester Stallone, other celebrities from Philadelphia include Will Smith Richard Gere, Bradley Cooper and Anne F. Beiler, an Amish Mennonite who started the famous Auntie Anne’s Pretzels.
Pretzels, especially soft pretzels are a staple to any Philadelphian and yellow mustard is always the condiment of choice. The Amish Mennonites are prevalent and run many businesses in the city. A lot of the food in Philadelphia has roots with the Amish and German cuisine.
In the early days of Philadelphia, the city was dominated by taverns. The cuisine therefore has a lot of tavern food. There are also a lot of street vendors and market places. Two of the famous markets are the Italian Market and the Reading Terminal Market.
This book is a collection of recipes that I feel best represent the spirit of Philadelphia. I hope that you enjoy!
