I particularly enjoyed the Pineapple "Peace Pipe" Pound Cake
December 1, 2017
I have become the talk of my tribal gathering thanks to recipes from this book. I particularly enjoyed the Pineapple "Peace Pipe" Pound Cake, as well as, the Hey Ya Ho Ya Smoked Chicken with french sauce. If you enjoyed this book as much as I did, check out her other titles such as: How Now Brown Cow Chow: A Vegans Guide to recipes that taste like real meat!

But, we have no crab...
October 17, 2018
Many moons ago, my ancestor told me the tale of a woman, whose skin was like that of horse-milk, that descended upon our tribe. This woman said to us that she had spirit-walked her way to our lands from the little known Wannahbe Tribe. She said that she had come to teach us her ways of cooking, using a red tortoise, or what she called "crab" which can only be found near the lakes of salt.
To this, my tribe said to her "but we have no such lakes here" nevertheless, she persisted. After several days of her performing a rain dance, which she said was known to her tribe as "the jitterbug" no water was forthcoming. She instead, produced from her pouch, a cylinder of tin, in which, was a mush of red tortoise meat. She proceeded to use this to prepare a feast, which she shared with my tribe.
After the feast had ended, many once strong tribesmen began to fall ill. My ancestor was the only person to have avoided being slain by this wicked trick. It is for this reason that I must warn all who will hear me, from trading to acquire this book.

Lizzie Warren’s one fine cook.
Her recipes are in a book.
The book is titled "Pow Wow Chow”.
The meals therein make you say, “How?’
Open it and you will see
Meals from Mohawk, Cherokee,
Blackfoot, Hopi, Abenaki,
Even those who sell tobacci.
Within this tome you’ll find a spree
Of long-held, secret recipes.
Each one an heirloom family dish
Containing pony, dog or fish.
Liz’s meals aren’t made with maize.
They date from when the gourmet craze
Became our nation’s cooking passion
And arcane meals came into fashion.
Find inside this gourmet bomblet
Elizabeth's Cold Crabmeat Omelet.
This tasty treat may be delicious,
But it’s origin’s suspicious.
That she includes it is quite zany--
The recipe was by Chef Franey.
’twas printed for the world to use
In the New York Daily News,
And published many moons before.
She says it came from family lore.
Oh, so tempting—not the meal,
But the recipe--to steal
Another’s work, then, with chutzpah,
To call it hers. A lazy squaw!

It Only takes 1/1024th to screw over a Minority!

Elizabeth Warren apparently plagiarized three of the recipes, two from the NY Times, the other from a 1959 Better Homes and Garden recipe.

Read parts of this that were shared via social media. Contributor Elizabeth Warren claimed to be a member of the Cherokee tribe in her contributions which it turns out were taken from another author. Plagiarism and copyright violations. A new version of this book needs to be printed without her contributions.

The book is fake. All the recipes were lifted from newspapers and magazines. They originated with various chefs, including a French one.

I was pretty disappointed to learn Pow Wow Chow was out of print. Fortunately, at least one recipe for traditional Cherokee Crab Cakes with Tomato Mayonnaise Dressing is coincidentally available in a number of syndicated news articles from 1979, years before this book was published. Don't worry about the fact the two recipes have different authors because the recipes are in fact, by mind-numbingly inexplicable coincidence, identical.

Joshua P. Strodtbeck I think we have had enough lies. Warren isn’t even close to being 1/32 of Indian let alone Cherokee in fact she is most likely 1/1024 if Peruvian ...Mexican ect. This cook book took recipes from better homes and gardens abs The NY Times. Let’s just be real here ok?

Thanks for all the great reviews. This book should be listed under fiction and comedy! Someone stick a fork in Elizabeth Warren; she’s done.
