Description

"Green leaves, teas and medicinal plants, roots, and berries: the plants of traditional Iñupiat cuisine are all covered in this up-to-date edition of the well-loved 'Plants That We Eat'. Each plant is described in detail, with artful illustrations, a generous selection of photographs, and distribution maps making for easy identification. Instructions for gathering and preparing the plants are enlivened by personal stories from Iñupiat people who still enjoy their traditional cuisine. A thorough set of appendices includes how-tos on storing food, making Eskimo ice cream, and a detailed section on poisonous plants. A glossary gathers together the abundant Iñupiat words used throughout the book. Part plant identification guide, part cookbook, and part cultural legacy, 'Plants That We Eat' invites those interested in botany, arctic cuisine, or Eskimo culture to take part in this healthy and time-honored lifestyle."--Cover.
