William Bartram has rightly been hailed as an astute, perceptive
chronicler of Native American societies. In some ways he was able
to see beyond the dominant ideologies of his day, some of which
divided the world's peoples into categories based on perceived
savagism and civility. The Flower Hunter and the People introduces
Bartram's writings on Southeastern Native Americans and allows
Bartram and his indigenous consultants to tell their stories in
their own words. Along the way, readers should also consider this
underlying fact, which rarely strayed from the Flower Hunter's
mind. William Bartram was a guest in the Native Southeast. He
travelled on paths smoothed, figuratively and literally, by Native
Americans. He stayed in Muskogees' houses, ate Cherokees' food, and
was, at times permitted glimpses of his hosts' worldviews and
lifeways. The things they allowed Bartram to record bore cultural
and political weight in their own times, and they can speak to us
in ours as well.

In his debut cookbook, Jennings honours the traditional foods of
New England while turning them on their head - maple flavours the
dressing of a Little Gem lettuce salad as well as the dipping sauce
for dumplings, molasses and cider are used to marinate chicken
wings, a blueberry sauce accompanies a roasted lamb dish, and Moxie
(the official soft drink of Maine) flavours beans and short ribs.
New England favourites updated Jennings's way - pot roast dinner,
clam rolls, lobster rolls, brown bread, frappes, and Boston cream
whoopie pies - accompany long-form stories about putting together
the perfect cheese board, cooking in the shoulder season, the rules
for making tartare at home, how to throw an old fashioned ice cream
social, and more. Jennings celebrates the ingredients, geography,
climate, history, and traditions of this region.
