Americans eat lots of different kinds of foods. Because the people here have origins in many lands, food customs were brought to the United States from all over the world.
If you would like to explore cooking some traditional American meals, the best place to start would be with a "Betty Crocker Cookbook." Almost every American home has one. It gives detailed instructions on meal planning, food preparation and recipies.
The typical American meal is pretty simple. If you have meat, potatoes, a vegetable or salad and something for dessert, you will probably please him. But, if he likes you and you are Japanese, I suspect he would like to try some of the dishes your family would prepare. Americans do like to experiment with different kinds of food.
Good luck!

We eat a large variety of items in my home -- I'm always experimenting with new recipes. I would suggest you subscribe to a food/cooking magazine (Food & Wine or Bon Appetit are my faves) and start trying your hand at some of the recipes. Everything is really well written and easy to follow with decent instructions for a novice. You can also check them out online to get more ideas!!!
You can also start a library of cookbooks. The essential cooking volume is "The Joy of Cooking". This has recipes, descriptions, photos, and instructions on technique. Good luck!

Learn to fix potatoes, Mashed, fried, stewed, french fries, baked, etc. Always a mans favorite. Plus buy a good cookbook. Nothing fancy, just 1 with easy recipes.It will tell you what ingredients and how to fix.
Find out some specific items you want to cook for him and then ask us how to fix.

Taco Salad, if he likes spicy stuff. Spaghetti, lasagna, pizza, chicken, steaks....they are all big things that "americans" eat. Get yourself a nice cookbook and get to work. That is pretty much the easiest thing to do. :) Good Luck

The men I know like to eat meat, steak, pot roast, hamburgers, hot dogs, and fried catfish. They are very simple people. He loves you and will love whatever you cook. Congratulations on your engagement and I hope you have a wonderful marriage!
