“…As for all socio-cultural practices, foods and their methods of production and preparation have evolved over the years, some beyond recognition, and there are many versions of these historical foods that today use a range of ingredients, adapting to tastes, availability and convenience. A prime example is found in an article on cornbread [ 57 ], clearly based on historic boiled recipes, but using canned beans and masa harina (flour from nixtamalized corn) for convenience, adding salt for taste, boiling in a pot on an electric stove top, eating with steak and gravy on Sundays as a modern tradition, and frying day-old bread to eat like pancakes with butter and syrup.…”

For centuries, some Indigenous Peoples of the Americas have planted corn, beans and squash or pumpkins together in mounds, in an intercropping complex known as the Three Sisters. Agriculturally, nutritionally and culturally, these three crops are complementary. This literature review aims to compile historical foods prepared from the products of the Three Sisters planting system used in Indigenous communities in the region encompassing southern Quebec and Ontario in Canada, and northeastern USA. The review does not discuss cultural aspects of the Three Sisters cropping system or describe foods specific to any one Indigenous group, but rather, gives an overview of the historical foods stemming from this intercropping system, many foods of which are common or similar from one group to another. Some of the methods of food preparation used have continued over generations, some of the historical foods prepared are the foundation for foods we eat today, and some of both the methods and foods are finding revival.
