The United States is often described as a kaleidoscope of culture, a colorful assemblage of tradition and history built by the nation's diverse population. Few things illustrate this as clearly as American cuisine; in the United States, food knowledge and techniques from all over the world coalesce, forming a culinary landscape unlike any other.
Cooking in America is a brand new video series from Eater and host Pelin Keskin, which sets out to explore the ways immigrants in the United States maintain a connection to their home countries through food. Watch the trailer above for a peek into the series as a whole, and then check out the first two episodes — where Keskin learns about Uzbek home cooking and Ethiopia's community-building coffee ceremony, respectively — below:
Episode 1: The Culinary History of Uzbekistan
Episode 2: The Ethiopian Coffee Ceremony at Bunna Cafe
