Feeding 7 Generations: a Salish Cookbook by Elise Krohn and Valeria Seagrest

Many tribal elders fondly remember how their happiest times are ones where they gathered and prepared native foods with friends and family. This remarkable cookbook gathers know-how and culinary traditions surrounding 15 of the most beloved native foods of the Salish Sea region—foods that brought health to our Ancestors for millennia—and offers them to readers of all experience levels in an accessible blend of rich information and easy-to-follow recipes.

A traditional Salish Diet includes many types of fish, wild game, berries, roots, bulbs, nuts, and seeds. Background about each plant or animal—including seasonality and harvesting tips—is paired with delicious recipes that highlight nutrition and wellness information, making this a valuable resource both for curious beginners and for seasoned chefs and harvesters. Filled with vibrant photographs and beautiful artwork by Salish artists, Feeding 7 Generations will help you to taste the seasons and develop a closer relationship with the culture and the land.
