Looking to expand your reading list and discuss a variety of issues and topics important to
Native people? If so, please join our virtual book club, As They Speak: Native Voices in Today’s
Literature. Based on a variety of topics and featuring a range of genres, all of the books we will
be reading have been written by contemporary Native authors. This month we will be treating
ourselves to a delicious read with Cape Cod Wampanoag Cookbook: Indian Recipes, Images,
and Lore by Earl Mills, Sr (Mashpee Wampanoag) and Betty Breen. Now in his 90s, co-author
Earl Mills is an indigenous gourmet chef who shares with the reader time-tested recipes handed
down by his ancestors and perfected at his Cape Cod restaurant, The Flume. Homespun
narratives and blessings over meals precede Cape Cod recipes ranging from Quahog Chowder
to Indian Pudding. This down-home mix of comfort foods and nostalgia offers an invitation to
succumb to fond memories, take control of "hearth and soul" and rediscover the passion of
good eating. Join the conversation hosted by IAIS staff on Zoom.
In order to have a more intimate conversation, space is limited. This is a FREE event, but donations are appreciated.
This event will NOT be recorded.
