"For many American Indians, food is more than sustenance—it is also of vital cultural significance. Where indigenous staples like salmon, buffalo, berries, acorns, quinoa, wild rice, tomatoes, chocolate, and especially corn flourish, they have become a central part of Native American ceremonies and creation stories. Produced in association with the National Museum of the American Indian and illustrated with delicious color photographs of finished recipes as well as traditional artwork and artifacts, this coffee table cookbook presents such specialties as Fry Bread, Venison with Juniper and Wild Huckleberry Sauce, and Chilean-Style Avocado and Shrimp Salad. 224 pages" |
