Smithsonian Restaurant

Fantastic Recipes. We had eaten at the Native American Smithsonian Restaurant everyday while in DC. The best food! We were on the waiting list for this cookbook for a year. Simple, good food.

Awesome Chef, awesome book

I work for Chef Divina, and we make a lot of the dishes from this book in the restaurant. The Wild Rice and Corn Fritters are a huge hit. Also the Huckleberry Sorbet is to die for! He wrote this book with his wife, they also won a James Beard Award for this book as well. This chef is awesome to work with and someone I look up to and hope to be like.
