Riassunto

As a food rice is one of the most nutritious; as a symbol and source of mythology, it is fascinating. In the northern and eastern United States and southern Canada, wild rice is still harvested by Native Americans and folks who have lived for generations near the lakes and rivers where it grows naturally. The satisfying process of harvesting, called "ricing," still follows ancient tradition, using canoes, poles, and handmade knockers. WILD RICE COOKING is the complete book of wild rice, giving its history and lore, offering a primer on how to share the joys of reaping wild harvest yourself, along with a guide to buying wild rice, and instructions on cooking it, with eighty fabulous recipes.

Dalla quarta di copertina

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.
