Review Quotes: "Pyet's talent is evident in every recipe in this book. The way she weaves her heritage into her dishes is extraordinary and I've seen it every day since the first time I tasted her work on Next Level Chef. Trust me, you're in for an absolute treat." - Gordon Ramsay Pyet's Rooted in Fire beautifully honors her Prairie Band of Potawatomi and Mexican heritage through food storytelling that is both personal and powerful. Her voice is heartfelt, her vision and dedication are clear, and her talent within the Indigenous food movement is undeniable. I'm so proud to see her shining as a modern-day Indigenous food warrior--this book marks an important chapter in her growing legacy." - Sean Sherman, Founder of The Sioux Chef/NATIFS.org and Author of The Sioux Chef's Indigenous Kitchen and Turtle Island "A chapter on soups and stews is particularly decadent and will be welcome on a cold winter night. DeSpain provides a variety of cultural education for home chefs to explore, including history, recipe origins, and a Potawatomi language pronunciation guide, adding to the richness of her narrative. Both a welcome entry point to explore Indigenous cooking and an enjoyable, loving voyage through DeSpain's culinary history and family." -- Sarah Tansley, Booklist - Booklist "A valuable resource for home cooks looking to learn more about Indigenous foodways." - Publishers Weekly Publisher Marketing: Next Level Chef winner Pyet De Spain celebrates her Mexican and Native American heritage in this collection of mouthwatering recipes, a vibrant fusion that ties us to the land and to one another.

Rooted in Fire: A Celebration of Native American and Mexican Cooking is a tribute to her dual heritage--a gorgeously crafted celebration of the diversity of food and the stories, traditions, culture, and profound philosophies of Indigenous people that season each meal. Pyet shows you how to incorporate a delicious range of key ingredients--from venison, dandelion greens, to sunchokes, bison, and native berries--into more than sixty fusion dishes. Family and friends will be excited to gather around the table to enjoy sweet and savory food such as:
In addition to her inventive and palate pleasing recipes, Pyet invites home cooks to honor the seasons on our beautiful Earth and connect with essential foodways. "This is more than just a cookbook," Pyet writes. "It's giving a voice to Indigenous people, while also highlighting the fusion of my two cultures with fire and purpose." Review Citations:
