Pyet DeSpain rose to prominence as the first winner of Gordon Ramsey’s Fox television show "Next Level Chef." Now, in her debut cookbook, she shares the joy of cooking fueled by her passion for Native American and Mexican American cuisine.
Pyet shows you how to incorporate a delicious range of key ingredients — from venison and dandelion greens to sunchokes, bison and native berries — into more than 60 fusion dishes. Family and friends will be excited to gather around the table to enjoy sweet and savory food such as:
• Three Sisters Salad
• Bison and Sweet Corn Soup
• Fry Bread
• Mexican Chocolate & Mezcal Cake
• Corn Silk and Honey Tea
• Wojapi BBQ Sauce
"Rooted in Fire" is far more than just a collection of recipes; it is a movement giving voice to Indigenous culture, histories and foodways through the universal language of food.
