ingredients). I admit to a weakness for glamorous cookbooks like this if I can
afford them, but reserve True-Hearted Kitchen Love for ones like that
produced by the Ladies of Lovesick Lake. The Amazon is just a place where
you can order it, there's no info about it there. I'd written this review note
before finding it on-line.
Native Harvests : Recipes and Botanicals of the American Indian--This was
published in the '70's, click on the author's name to see a more recent book
on Native Feasts year-round from 1990. There's no info about it (like most of
the Amazon Native books) but I used to have this years ago, and it was good.lA Native American Feast--Cookbook from Amazon that impressed me,
though I forgot to take any notes on it. By the same guy whose Native
Harvests I used to have many years ago. Possibly this is more in the line of
practical recipes.lTepee Cookery : Or Lets Chew the Fat Indian Style : A Cookbook--Amazon
doesn't give any info on its books (there's provision for users to enter their
own reviews). I picked this one because the author (whose name I forgot to
write down) is also co-author of an impressive-sounding book on traditional
agricultural knowledge in developing countries. So maybe she knows
something about Plains cookery. Maybe she's even an Indian person?lOTHER NATIVE COOKBOOKS
Gatsi Nosdi News: Ultimate Cherokee Cookbook, by Cherokee The Oukah

by anthro Sophie D. Coe, deals with Aztec, Maya, Inca pre-conquest foods,
University of Texas Press, more of a scholarly work than a cookbook.lKwakuitl Recipes--Taste of history/culture, not practical kitchen tips. From
an anthro who published many of his Kwak'hwak'h wife, Ella's, methods of
cooking (more descriptions than recipes)in 1914. "First, catch your whale..."
kind of like the infamous recipe in Escoffier's French (for expert bigtime
chefs only) cookbook of the same period for turtle soup.lBill's World of Food & Drink--This is a huge assortment of links compiled by
the redoutable Canadian attorney-for-native causes, Bill Henderson, whose
Aboriginal Links are thorough, well-organized, and pretty-pages. He likes
good food, evidently, possibly a habit learned from his Native wife. A huge
assortment here of links to food-related pages. Unfortunately, a few of the
most interesting ones are deadlinks (Rio Lara-Bellon's compilation of Native
