Native Harvests: American Indian Wild Foods and Recipes

I grow many native plants on my property as well as many edible and medicinal plants. A friend of mine found this book in the library and told me about it. I immediately found the book on Amazon and purchased it. I haven’t made any of the recipes yet, but I have Read through the entire book. I am happy I found this and I’m sure it will become a go to book for me for many years.

A delightful collection of foraging tips and tricks, techniques and recipes. Good descriptions and accurate hand-penned drawings of plants. A valuable tool for my off-grid side of life. Highly recommend

Would like to take a class of wild food locations/actual sightings (hands on). The pictures and information from the book are good reference but not like seeing the real thing from nature.

ABSOLUTELY LOVE this book. It has so many small little tidbits of information and fun recipes that you can try that DON'T include flour, sugar and store bought ingredients. I have been searching for a long time for a book like that. I don't want to have to purchase garbage at a store; I want to eat the hunter gatherer way. I love the way this book is laid out. I love how the author touches on many different subjects, from wild foods, to ceremonies and medicine. I had no idea that club moss could help nose bleeds! Fascinating and a must read.

Love love this book. So much knowledge and wisdom about Native American wild foods to forage, use as medicine and amazing recipes. Highly recommended. Have it 5⭐️

No fry bread. These foods predate the time before indigenous people were confined to reservations. The ingredients were cultivated gathered or hunted. No white flour, yeast or white sugar. Look forward to trying some recipes myself. You could have some trouble finding stuff like duck eggs but he offers reasonable substitutions when possible. No problem for me. I have a friend with ducks

This provides a good background for those of us interested in wild foraging and indigenous diets. For example, who knew that the Native Americans used ash to season foods? This book reminds us that Nature provides us with all the nutrition we need. If only we are wise enough to look after Nature, she will look out after us -- something that cannot be said about the fast food industry.

So far a very enjoyable book. Love the recipes.

I enjoy foraging for nature's food in the Boreal forest of NW Ontario. Book is a great reference for edibles, plus recipes.
