For him, the US is now more than the land of unlimited calorie opportunities…
Does the Super Bowl also make you hungry for America? Star chef Frank Rosin (56) is currently jetting 6,000 kilometers through the States for a documentary (Roadtrip America, Thursday, 8:15 p.m., Kabel1) with two star restaurateurs.
Rosin says to BILD: “In culinary terms, the USA is only a developing country at first glance. If you look to the right and left of the highway, you will discover things that are worth a conscious treat.”

More than half of all Americans are overweight. Ascending trend. Rosin: “The trick is not to indulge in excess. As the son of a French fries stand owner, I grew up with a fries pacifier.”
He continues: “Anyone who is fundamentally faithful in their relationship with nutrition can also cheat on their taste buds with fast food. Those who exercise properly can also treat themselves to the freedom of one US day a month.”
The star chef puts together an America food day for BILD (recipe for four people). Vegan cornbread, vegetarian cheese noodles, meat in a bun. Possible for just over ten euros per person. Rosin explains the exact preparation here.
Vegan Cornbread
► Tastes good at all times of the day. Is a sweet or savory topping for a power start to the day.
Ingredients: Ingredients: 150g wheat flour, 150g corn flour, 65g sugar, 2 teaspoons baking powder, half teaspoon baking soda, half teaspoon salt, 290 milliliters almond milk, 80 grams pureed canned corn, half tablespoon apple cider vinegar, 35ml rapeseed oil.
Cornbread is a great way to start the day
Cost per person: about 90 cents.
Preparation: Mix all ingredients well in a bowl with a hand mixer. Put this mass in a greased baking pan (approx. 20x20cm) and bake for about 35 minutes. Bake in the oven at 190°C.
Vegetarian Cheese Macaroni: “Mac and Cheese”
► Works as a midday fuel and also tastes good in the evening (not too late and in XL portions).
Ingredients: 500g macaroni, 60g butter, 40g flour, 750ml milk, 350g grated cheddar cheese, chilli powder, garlic powder, salt.
Cost per person: around 2.30 euros.
Cheese Macaroni: goes for lunch and dinner. But then be careful! Not too late for the cheese mountain and not too much of it before bed
Preparation: Cook the pasta in salted water al dente and rinse with cold water. Melt the butter in a saucepan, add the flour and mix with a whisk. Lightly toast the whole thing. Now slowly add the milk while stirring and heat until it binds.
Then remove from the heat, stir in the grated cheddar and season with chili, garlic and salt. Mix in the noodles and heat the whole thing in a casserole dish for about 20 minutes at 180 degrees in the oven.

Steak Baguette: “Philly Cheesesteak”
► The American power tie at hand.
Ingredients: 600g ribeye steak, two red onions, one green pepper, four baguette buns, 30g butter, 220g grated cheddar, salt, pepper, garlic powder, Worcester sauce, soy sauce, rapeseed oil.
Cost per person: around 8.50 euros.
US classic that has everything: The Philly Cheesesteak
Preparation: Peel the onions and cut into thin rings. Fry them in a pan with a little oil until translucent and remove. Core the peppers and cut into thin strips. Also cut the meat into thin strips (about 2 millimeters thick), place in a bowl and season with salt, pepper, garlic, Worcestershire and soy sauce and mix well. Sear the meat in a little oil in a hot pan.
As soon as the meat has the desired cooking point, mix in the cheese and let it melt. Cut open the baguette rolls, spread with butter and toast them in the oven or on the grill. Now cover the baguette: first add the pepper strips, then the meat with the melted cheese and finally the glazed onions.
