Replete with beautiful photographs of the finished dishes as well as objects and archival photographs from the museum's vast collections, "The Mitsitam Cafe Cookbook" showcases the Americas' truly indigenous foods in ninety easy-to-follow, home-tested recipes. A 1995 graduate of the Baltimore International Culinary College,
author Richard Hetzler worked at several fine-dining restaurants in
the Washington, DC, and Baltimore area before joining the
food-service firm Restaurant Associates at the Smithsonian. Hetzler
was on the team that researched and developed the groundbreaking
concept for the 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 cafe, he continues to create
and refine seasonal menus that showcase the Americas' native
bounty.
