Feast! Canadian Native Cuisine For All Seasons

Comments from olga :

Long, long before yuppie nouvelle-cuisine chefs were even thought of, the Native people were making salads with wild ingredients. Here is a modern day version of a recipe that is as old as the hills. It is a terrific way to begin an adventure in Aboriginal dining.
