The Sioux Chef's Indigenous Kitchen

Winner of NPR, Smithsonian, & James Beard’s Best American Cookbook! Sherman celebrates healthy locally sourced, native, wild caught, and seasonal foods—not European staples like wheat flour, dairy, and sugar. The book’s food photography is gorgeous. The author gives substitutions for many ingredients that are hard to find. All the recipes are naturally gluten-free and dairy-free from pre-colonization days.
