Abstract

American Cuisine is a description of a cuisine that indigenous to people who live in the
United States of America. The purpose of this study is to examine the development of
food ways in the United States and to determine that how cuisine in the United States
interacted with other cultures .For this purpose, review of American history, culinary
cultures and international migration to the US literatures was conducted. It can be said that
blending of cooking and nourishment methods of Native Americans and Europeans has
formed a basis for American Cuisine culture. Over time, with new migrations to the region
and with the expansion of the United States border, culinary culture in the new land has
interacted with the culinary culture of the new settlers. With migration to the region,
varied cuisine culture has merged, thus American cuisine has developed and diversified.
Consequently, due to American cuisine culture hard to define, need of two concepts are
emerging. These concepts are regionalism and diversity. Therefore, American cuisine
culture can be defined by regionalism and diversity. These regional cuisines are New
England, Middle Region and South Region in Colonial Period, and Louisiana, Tex-Mex,
California and Hawaii in Post-Colonial Period.
