日本代购-<p><strong>An intimate and engaging Native food memoir</strong></p> <p>In these coming-of-age tales set on the Menominee Indian Reservation of the 1980s and 1990s, Thomas Pecore Weso explores the interrelated nature of meals and memories. As he puts it, “I cannot separate foods from the moments in my life when I first tasted them.” Weso’s stories recall the foods that influenced his youth in northern Wisconsin: subsistence meals from hunted, fished, and gathered sources; the culinary traditions of the German, Polish, and Swedish settler descendants in the area; and the commodity foods distributed by the governmentーlike canned pork, dried beans, and powdered eggsーthat made up the bulk of his family’s pantry. His mom called this “survival food.”</p> <p>These stories from the author’s teen and tween yearsーsome serious, some laugh-out-loud funnyーwill take readers from Catholic schoolyards to Native foot trails to North Woods bowling alleys, while providing Weso’s perspective on the political currents of the era. The book also contains dozens of recipes, from turtle soup and gray squirrel stew to twice-baked cheesy potatoes. This follow-up to Weso’s <em>Good Seeds: A Menominee Indian Food Memoir</em> is a hybrid of modern foodways, Indigenous history, and creative nonfiction from a singular storyteller.</p> <p>Finalist for the 2023 Midwest Book Award for Cookbooks/Crafts/Hobbies</p> <p>Library of Congress Centers for the Book Great Read title from the state of Wisconsin</p> <p><strong>Praise:</strong><br /> “This book is not only about survival food, but about the singular beauty, creativity, and fortitude that comes out of that survival.”<br /> ーChef Sean Sherman, author, <em>The Sioux Chef’s Indigenous Kitchen</em></p> <p>“Nothing brings people together like good food and good stories. There’s an abundance of both in Thomas Pecore Weso’s latest memoir. As Weso attests, food can bring back happy, loving memories of times that were far from happy. Even a tray of funeral sandwiches brings a kind of comfort. This is a wonderful, honest portrait of northeastern Wisconsin, enlightening even to those of us who call this area home.”<br /> ーJared Santek, Founder & Artistic Director, Write On Door County</p> <p>“<em>Survival Food</em> provides ample nourishment for the mind and body. . . . The stories, told with humor and affection, are complemented by recipes ranging from mouth-watering instructions for cooking wild asparagus to ever-so-interesting advice for preparing bear stew.”<br /> ーLucille Lang Day, author of <em>Birds of San Pancho and Other Poems of Place</em> and coeditor of <em>Red Indian Road West: Native American Poetry from California</em></p> <p>“His grandmother cooked according to Native traditions; his mother, ‘a nontraditional college student during my teens,’ resorted to instant meals. His grandfather was town constable and days spent with him brought Weso to the meatloaf, sausage and sauerkraut of German and Polish neighbors. Uncle Buddy’s flash car brings buckwheat pancakes to Weso’s mind, and he lived for a time near Cheese Box Curveーso called after a truck hauling dairy products overturned. Weso includes a few recipes, but mostly, <em>Survival Food</em> is an entertaining look back at life in Wisconsin’s rural north.”<br /> ーDavid Luhrssen, <em>Shepherd Express</em></p> <p>“<em>Survival Food: North Woods Stories by a Menominee Cook</em> by Thomas Pecore Weso is a posthumous sequel to his celebrated collection of family stories, <em>Good Seeds: A Menominee Food Memoir</em>. . . . Rich with captivating tales that include driving a convertible on logging roads, agreeing on terms before throwing eggs at passing cars, and his grandmother’s brief stay in a jailhouse she’d later purchase, Weso’s entries offer readers catharsisーdemonstrating how to laugh, boast, debate, eat, mourn, and heal.”<br /> ーRyan Winn, College of Menominee Nation, <em>Tribal College Journal</em></p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。
