Hopi Cookery

This book is a real gem for those interested in a better diet and/or the culture of the Hopi. The book walks you through things such as, drying and storing corn, making hominy from dried corn, chilis, beans, frybread, piki making, and the virtues of blue corn. The book also contains many interesting facts about Hopi cultural traditions and what the recipes are often accompanied with. Excellent!

Just like Grandmother used to make...

This is a GREAT recipe book. Not only are the instructions clear enough that anybody can follow, but the recipes are actually like the traditional food you find in the homes on the reservation.
