Welcome to AmericanFoodRecipe.com. My name is Preeti Acharya, and I am the founder, sole author, and Lead Research Editor of this publication.
AmericanFoodRecipe.com is an independent digital culinary archive dedicated to documenting and analyzing iconic American recipes through historical research, culinary science, and precise instructional logic. Unlike traditional food blogs built around personal kitchen anecdotes, this site functions as technical documentation for home cooking, clear, repeatable, and grounded in verifiable sources. All instructions use U.S. customary measurements as primary units and follow American culinary traditions.
I created AmericanFoodRecipe.com to help everyday home cooks achieve dependable results without confusion or guesswork. I believe a reliable recipe is more than a sequence of steps. It is a structured system shaped by history, physics, and chemistry, deserving the same rigor as any other form of instructional research. All instructions are designed for home cooks in the United States, ensuring practicality and safety.
An Outsider’s Perspective on American Cuisine
I am based in Kathmandu, Nepal, a growing global research hub with extensive digital access to international archives. While geographically distant from the traditional American kitchen, this position provides a deliberate editorial advantage: analytical objectivity.
I approach American cuisine as a historian and researcher, not a tradition-bearer. My work does not rely on inherited family recipes, subjective memory, or regional nostalgia. Instead, I conduct structured research using digitized U.S. culinary archives, heritage cookbooks, and government food safety documentation. All interpretations are grounded in rigorous research, ensuring that American recipes are accurate and reproducible for home cooks in the United States.
The goal is to bridge American culinary history and modern domestic cooking by removing guesswork and grounding every instruction in evidence.
Research Sources & Citation Framework
Every blueprint published on AmericanFoodRecipe.com is independently researched and cross-referenced against primary and secondary sources. My research regularly draws from:
Digital Archives:
- The Library of Congress
- The Smithsonian Institution’s culinary collections
- The New York Public Library’s digitized menus and historical cookbooks
Heritage Publications:
- The Fannie Farmer Cookbook
- The Joy of Cooking (historical editions)
- Regional community cookbooks from the 19th and 20th centuries
Culinary Science & Safety:
- Established food science literature
- U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) food safety frameworks
Historical editions of the Fannie Farmer Cookbook and USDA archival bulletins, among others, are cross-referenced to verify ingredient ratios, preparation methods, and period-accurate cooking practices. All historical references and safety benchmarks support accuracy, safety, and reproducibility, not nostalgia.
Editorial Review Methodology (E-E-A-T)
Trust is the foundation of this publication. To ensure consistency, clarity, and safety, every article follows a three-stage internal review process, conducted entirely by me, Preeti Acharya:
| Review Focus | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Archival Accuracy | Verifies ingredient lists and methods against historical records |
| Metric Integrity | Confirms measurements align with U.S. Customary standards with metric support |
| Instructional Logic & Safety | Evaluates steps for scientific validity and USDA food safety compliance |
This process ensures every guide is historically grounded, technically precise, and safe for home use. Single-author oversight reinforces credibility and authority.
Human-Led AI Usage Policy
AmericanFoodRecipe.com follows a strict human-in-the-loop standard.
I may use advanced digital tools for archival discovery, data organization, and unit conversion. However, every article is manually written, reviewed, and finalized solely by me, with all factual claims verified and contextualized. No content is published without explicit authorship verification.
Visual Transparency & Reference Imagery
To ensure instructional precision, all reference images on AmericanFoodRecipe.com are carefully selected to show the correct texture, color, and structure of dishes. Images include original photography, properly licensed stock, and AI-assisted illustrations (e.g., Gemini AI) with full commercial and editorial rights.
Human Verification: Every AI-assisted image is reviewed and verified by me, Preeti Acharya, to guarantee realistic appearance and proportion. Captions and alt text clearly indicate AI-assisted imagery.
AI visuals are used only to illustrate technical standards and expected outcomes, not to depict personal cooking results. Combining original, licensed, and AI-assisted images ensures consistent, high-quality visual benchmarks for reliable execution, while maintaining full transparency, copyright compliance, and AdSense guidelines.
Mission: Reliability Over Complexity
My mission is to provide dependable culinary resources for readers who value precision, efficiency, and accuracy. I write for busy families, analytical cooks, and anyone who wants reproducible results.
By emphasizing history, science, and disciplined instruction, AmericanFoodRecipe.com makes iconic American dishes consistent, achievable, and intellectually honest.
