Picked up my signed copy of Turtle Island by Sean Sherman, owner of the Owamni Restaurant

 I have had the pleasure of eating at his restaurant, the Owamni,  in Minneapolis twice.  I highly recommend it.  This is his newest publication, Turtle Island, which I picked up yesterday at Birchbark Books.

"On the surface, “Turtle Island” is a cookbook. Look a little deeper and it doubles as a history textbook and even a travel guide, one Sherman and a team of writers and photographers spent three years building. “It feels like an encyclopedia,” Sherman said.

The recipes, organized by regions such as the Great Plains, Great Lakes and Desert Lands, are touchpoints through North America’s landscapes and seasons, offering culinary histories that often have been erased."  From the Star Tribune - you can read more with this gift article. Read more about it here.
