Editorial Reviews

Product Description
In this gloriously photographed book, renowned photographer and Native American–food expert Lois Ellen Frank, herself part Kiowa, presents more than 80 recipes that are rich in natural flavors and perfectly in tune with today’s healthy eating habits. Frank spent four years visiting reservations in the Southwest, documenting time-honored techniques and recipes. With the help of culinary advisor and Navajo Nation tribesman Walter Whitewater, a chef in Santa Fe, Frank has adapted the traditional recipes to modern palates and kitchens. Inside you’ll find such dishes as Stuffed Tempura Chiles with Fiery Bean Sauce, Zuni Sunflower Cakes, and Prickly Pear Ice. With its wealth of information, this book makes it easy to prepare and celebrate authentic Native American cooking.

About the Author
Lois Ellen Frank is based in Santa Fe, New Mexico. She has a master’s degree in cultural anthropology from the University of New Mexico with a focus on Native American foods and plants. Currently, she is a featured cooking instructor at the Santa Fe School of Cooking.

5.0 out of 5 stars An outstanding book, March 13, 2003
By S. Casey "DrBrrrr" (Silicon Valley, CA USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This is a great book for reading about the history of the many foods mentioned. The cover the book is actually different from the one shown on Amazon.com (and even more beautiful). If you are thinking about visiting anywhere in the Southwestern United States, this book will tell you something about the delicious foods native to the area. The photographs are outstanding and well worth the cost of the book. You don't have to be a cook to enjoy the foods and stories portrayed here.

5.0 out of 5 stars Photographs make you hungry and recepies good enough to eat!, December 2, 2002
By "seal5plus" (Pearland, Texas United States) - See all my reviews
It is easy to cook from these recepies and they work! I can't put this book down; it is so gloriously photographed and with such artistry and respect for Native American culture. Even those with no interest in food, will relish the photographs. The food is modern and healthful and edible.
