| As a
food, wild rice is one of the
most nutritious. Wild rice, native only to the western Great Lakes
region
of the United States, is rich in both nutrition and lore. Using canoes
and traditional methods, American Indians and other residents of the
area
harvest it from lakes and rivers where it grows naturally. Wild rice is
also raised and harvested commercially.
Wild
Rice Cooking is the complete
book of wild rice. Tucked within its pages are the history and lore of
wild rice, as well as a primer on how to share the joys of reaping wild
harvest. Also included are instructions on proper cooking techniques, a
guide to buying wild rice, and 80 recipes inspired by both the rice
harvesters
of today and of long ago.
