What I Do

We exist to help educate the world on matters pertaining to yams:  what they really are, how they can be used in cooking, and the history of yams in human civilization. I was inspired after watching a special, and from there, this website was born.Yams are a staple food in tropical climates, but are only very rarely seen in the United States of America or Canada.  Yams can be used in a variety of ways in recipes, but if you Google “yam recipes,” you are most likely going to find recipes calling for sweet potatoes rather than yams.  Finding true yam recipes in the western world takes a bit of skill.  Hopefully, Yam Online will help identify some of the more authentic recipes.
