2020Â Gourmand World Cookbook Award Winner of
the Gourmand International World Cookbook
Award, Recovering Our Ancestors’ Gardens is back! Featuring
an expanded array of tempting recipes of indigenous ingredients and
practical advice about health, fitness, and becoming involved in
the burgeoning indigenous food sovereignty movement, the acclaimed
Choctaw author and scholar Devon A. Mihesuah draws on the rich
indigenous heritages of this continent to offer a helpful guide to
a healthier life. Recovering Our Ancestors’ Gardens features
pointed discussions about the causes of the generally poor state of
indigenous health today. Diminished health, Mihesuah contends, is a
pervasive consequence of colonialism, but by advocating for
political, social, economic, and environmental changes, traditional
food systems and activities can be reclaimed and made relevant for
a healthier lifestyle today. New recipes feature pawpaw sorbet,
dandelion salad, lima bean hummus, cranberry pie with cornmeal
crust, grape dumplings, green chile and turkey posole, and blue
corn pancakes, among other dishes. Savory, natural, and steeped in
the Native traditions of this land, these recipes are sure to
delight and satisfy. This new edition is revised, updated, and
contains new information, new chapters, and an extensive curriculum
guide that includes objectives, resources, study questions,
assignments, and activities for teachers, librarians, food
sovereignty activists, and anyone wanting to know more about
indigenous foodways.
