Whisk up magic and discover the charm of New England cuisine!

THEME

New England cuisine is an American cuisine that originated in the New England region of the United States and traces its roots to traditional English cuisine and Native American cuisine. It also includes influences from Irish, French, Italian, and Portuguese cuisine. It is characterized by extensive use of potatoes, beans, dairy products, and seafood, resulting from its historical reliance on its seaports and fishing industry. Corn, the major crop historically grown by Native American tribes in New England, continues to be grown in all New England states.
