March 3, 2011 - The Mitsitam Cafe Cookbook won "Best in the World" Cookbook for the "Best Local Cuisine" category of 2010 from Gourmand at the Paris Cookbook Fair. Finalists in the category included cookbooks from China, Malaysia, and Spain.

“The Mitsitam Café Cookbook gathers Native American traditional recipes from the Smithsonian National Museum, offering recipes that draw on a range of culinary traditions from five Native cultures in the Americas. Ninety recipes are adapted here for home cooks and while some require access to unusual ingredients to be found locally in the wild- such as Fiddlehead Fern Salad or Smoked Trout and Dandelion Green Salad- most (such as Potato and Pinto Bean Enchiladas) can be easily duplicated simply with access to a good market. Any culinary library- and all Native American collections- will find this unusual and appealing.” —Midwest Book Review

About the Author

The kitchen of Richard Hetzler’s German American childhood home in Baltimore provided his earliest culinary inspiration. After working in restaurant kitchens in high school, Hetzler attended the Baltimore International Culinary College, graduating in 1995. He worked at several fine-dining restaurants in the Washington, DC/Baltimore area before joining the food-service firm Restaurant Associates, becoming the executive chef at the Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History. In 2003, he was on the team that researched and developed the groundbreaking concept for the National Museum of the American Indian’s Mitsitam Cafe: serving indigenous foods that are the staples of five Native culture areas in North and South America. As the executive chef of the Mitsitam, which has become one of the country’s most popular museum restaurants, he has continued to create and refine seasonal menus that showcase the truly native bounty of the Americas.

Good to learn from and incorporate into everyday eating

Reviewed in the United States on January 7, 2015

Format: HardcoverVerified Purchase

I've made quite a few recipes from this cookbook. I find the recipes very easy to follow and most of the "weird" ingredients I can either find on-line or use something else as a substitute. I can fit these recipes into everyday eating, and not just on special occasions. I often make the honey acorn squash on a weekly basis, and have been cooking other types of squashes more often. I also love the soups and incorporate ideas from this book to use in other recipes.

I recall all of the recipes have photos, so you always know what your food is ideally supposed to look like. I really like that, since many cookbooks only have photos of a few dishes.

Fresh and unexpected

Reviewed in the United States on February 28, 2015

Format: HardcoverVerified Purchase

This is one of my favorite cookbooks and my collection spans more than forty years of cooking. The flavors are fresh and sometimes just a bit unexpected. But, the recipes are not difficult and ingredients are not hard to find if you live in a metropolitan area. It also serves as an inspiration to create your own recipes by riffing on those in the book. The only downside is that the book is a bit heavy on southwestern recipes and a little light on western woodlands and plains recipes. But, overall, food made with these recipes is just delicious!

Fabulous!

Reviewed in the United States on December 20, 2013

Format: HardcoverVerified Purchase

After visiting the Mitsitam I knew I had to have this cookbook. There is a lot of information and beautiful pictures. I have been doing a lot of arm chair cooking and drooling since receiving it. I am looking forward to trying some of the recipes but most look like all day projects with visits to out of my way grocery stores. I will not be trying everything in this book but am glad I made the purchase.

Lots of interesting recipes and things about Native American culture. Great food photography and contains a guide for finding less common ingredients. A delicious look at the original Americana cuisine.

Hard to actually give as a gift

Reviewed in the United States on January 24, 2011

Format: HardcoverVerified Purchase

My daughter and I enjoy cookbooks and I purchased this for her for Christmas and it is delightful with recipes you can actually cook with ingredients that you can find, even if a little bit different. The photos are artful and add to the cookbook. I finally did wrap it, she is enjoying it and I intend to purchase one just for me.

Keeps you on your toes

Reviewed in the United States on March 16, 2014

Format: HardcoverVerified Purchase

I've really enjoyed all the items I've made so far, but the other reviews are correct. The cook times are off so you must keep your eye on cooking times and think critically about the ingredients.
