That would probably be George Herter and his truly astounding book called "Bull Cook." I can't imagine he understood exactly how appropriate the title is. But there are certainly others out there. "Cooking with Intuition" by Fred Mansbridge who calls himself "the world's happiest psychic" is a trip down trip lane. Subtitled, "The revolutionary way to become a gourmet cook OVERNIGHT [his caps]." A be-sure-to-miss on any culinary adventure. "New Native American Cooking" by Dale Carson who admits that "All the recipes in this book are based on traditional dishes or have been developed using traditional foods. Traditional foods, in my interpretation are those that are either indigenous to the Americas (corn, tomatoes, beans, squash, berries, maple, varieties of game meats and fowl, fish and shellfish, etc.) or whose introductions were readily embraced by indigenous peoples (apples, wheat and oat flours, leavening, dairy products, eggs, etc.). [] This is a food enthusiast's book of updated and original recipes that call for the delicious foods gathered, hunted, fished, cultivated, cooked and enjoyed by native peoples for centuries." They didn't eat eggs before Europeans showed them? Original recipes that have been enjoyed for centuries... Right. Like wild blueberry ice cream... There are so, so many more like these... Pastorio |
