Turtle Island Cookbook by Sean Sherman

If you like to learn about history and culture through food, then you would enjoy this cookbook by Sean Sherman. He covers food traditions from all the regions of our Indigenous Peoples of North America, known as Turtle Island. 

I checked it out of our local library. It’s a big book— filled with lots of photos and valuable information. I enjoyed his personal story about how he became a chef and preserving these recipes and techniques. Plan to buy a copy for myself, more as a historical book to read than to actually cook from as most of the ingredients are not available. But that shouldn’t stop you, it is so interesting! Much more than a cookbook. 

I hope to go to his restaurant someday.
