I assume you are looking for food items taken from the New World and blended
with Old World items to make new dishes or modifications of old. I'm not sure
that there are any that New World dishes that were taken from there and used
as is in the Old World.

You might want to look in these files in my Florilegium. Even if there are 
few or no recipes, there are likely to be referances that might have recipes.
