New Native Kitchen: Celebrating Modern Recipes of the American Indian by James O. Fraioli, Freddie Bitsoie, Quentin Bacon

Indigenous foods cooked in modern ways. although the author is navajo and lives in the south west the recipes and information try to touch on foods from all over turtle island. I think this would have been stronger if just focused on the navajo nation. A lot of ingredients that are difficult for me to get in the area I live but I did like the information and the look at traditional foods.

Great images, info, and recipes!

I've been trying a few of these and can't always get them to come out...hmmm, but I haven't tried everything in this book just a few things. Otherwise great! I got this for free at my library to try

this cookbook is beautiful, easy to read, and packed with sweet and thoughtful essays about indigenous communities that contributed ideas and inspiration for these recipes. my only complaint is that the pictures sometimes don't show the dish as described, which can be disorienting while cooking. "is mine supposed to look like that?!”, etc. 
highly recommend!

Everything we made out of this has been delicious. Esp the pork loin with the agave glaze.

I am not rating this based on recipes as I have not tried one yet. But I love the look and how the recipes are written. The chapters also contain cultural and historical tidbits about various tribes in the Americas. A very thoughtful and meaningful way to engage in the food that originated from America. Some of the ingredients may be hard to come by but the author gives recommendations for substations. I also appreciate the beautiful photos of the finished meal as I often have a hard time imagining how a recipe is suppose to look like.

Delivers exactly what it promises: information on traditional Native dishes and a recipe created to both honor those traditions and reflect modern tastes and techniques. Includes information on each tribe's food culture before exploring related recipes.
