Enduring Harvests: Native American Foods and Festivals for Every Season

Enduring Harvest boasts not just a collection of interesting Native American recipes that can be prepared in anyone's kitchen, it also offers lists and descriptions of Native American festivals. This is a good resource for seeing what the foods all year around were like 100 years ago in various tribes. The recipes are good today too. The book describes the seasonal festivals that accompany the foods. Many of these dishes are comfort food for Native Americans -- ones that grandma and mama makes. This book is a must in your kitchen if you are interested in cooking seasonal foods in the time-honored ways of various North American tribes. I highly recommend this well-written, expansive, and useful book. It's one I treasure and one I like to give to special friends as a gift.

This seasoned author has given us another GREAT BOOK on the earthy subject of American Indian foods and foodways! ENDURING HARVESTS is a delicious classic from a considerate culinary historian. As I re-read ENDURING HARVESTS again & again, I am taken with its depth & details of character & voices ( & recipes) from many gracious American Indians. What a nice gift!!!

This is a delightful, delicious book filled with special grace & insights & voices of many special individuals. We have used so many of these fine recipes over & over again, & always think of the sources & festivals from which they've come to us. Here are deep insights into the Native American cultures & their cuisines - deliciously shared & reverently presented! Wow!

Because this cookbook is presented almost as a calendar, the recipes are not only cultural but seasonal. I have tried many of the recipes and they are delicious--try it.
