Introduction

  On this site I will explore American foods, sharing some little history and philosophy, but mostly recipes. I call it Turtle Island after one name for the North American continent because that's where some of my people are from, and will include all of the Americas. I am also interested in historical interaction and adaptation by the mixing of cultures with these foods.
  I'll start by listing some ingredients: corn, beans, and squash, known as the three sisters, maple sugar, tomatoes, avocados, potatoes, chocolate, and more.
