Product Description
Product Description
This richly descriptive book includes recipes and folklore about the preparation of food by Southwest Indians. A bestselling favorite, which delights the palate and the eye, this cookbook ventures beyond mere recipes into the hearts and souls of the Pueblo and Navajo Indians. In these native cultures, the growth of food and its preparation are intimately tied to religious ceremony.
The forty-four full-color photographs depict rituals, dances and ceremonies connected with the planting and gathering of crops, together with scenes of home life showing preparation of food. Accompanying text is drawn from quotations of the author's Pueblo and Navajo friends, illuminating the beliefs and rituals that are inseparable from daily life.

My favorite Southwest Indian Cookbook,
By kacie@prz.ipc.net (Menlo Park, CA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Southwest Indian Cookbook (Paperback)
This my favorite cookbook covering Pueblo and Navaho foods. Not only are the recipies delicious and authentic, but the many photographs of the people and the landscape of the southwest, along with their words, has produced a small but beautiful book that displays the recipies within the context of the land and cultures.

One of my favorites!,
By Grandma - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Southwest Indian Cookbook (Paperback)
Long before I ever ventured into the Southwest (I did, eventually, to live & work), I brought this little cookbook home to add to my collection. Over the years I cooked it ragged, then loaned it to a friend. It has never come home, so I am absolutely delighted to find a replacement.
This book is full of gorgeous photos and easy, tasty recipes for authentic Southwestern foods. You'll find good food and enjoyment here for years to come. 6 of 7 people found the following review helpful:
