Cape Cod Wampanoag Cookbook: Wampanoag Indian Recipes, Images & Lore

My cousin wrote this book Chief Flying Eagle (Earl Mills Sr.) and he gave me a copy when he first published it. The pictures and spelling were perfect in it back then. He is now 92 and did not have any in his home so I purchased more. These ones are not printed correctly with misspelt words like Annawon’s name has one n and the pictures are faded. I am very disappointed!

My great grandmother was a Mashpee Wompanoag. As happens in many families, traditions and stories weren't kept intact. Moreover I'm from New England so much of the food in this cookbook was appreciated and sounds delicious. But this isn't just a cookbook. It's a history book which is interesting and well written. My 9 year old son looks through it all the time. My son was born in the southwest so he's never had fish chowder or steamers, etc. There's so many great recipes we want to try. Oh, I just love this book. It's worth every penny. We recently moved back East and can't wait to get some fresh seafood and start cooking! One thing I'd like to mention is that the recipes in this cookbook are easy to follow and there is something for everyone. Most of the recipes are familiar and familiar ingredients, so the average person will relate to it. Thank you Mr. Mills for taking the time to write this book. I appreciate it!

I'm orginanly from Cape Cod and a small part Wampanoag, may even be related to Mr. Mills. Have tried some of the recipes and theytake my back to my childhood in Orleans. I really enjoy the stories that he has written, I have been to some of those places. The book has been a great joy to me, it brings a smile to my face and a warm feeling in my heart, thank you for the return trip to my younger years, both with the stories and places but also the wonderful recipes

This is NOT a collection of traditional Wampanoag recipes. It is at best a modern Cape Cod eastern Massachusetts Recipe book. It does have a half dozen traditional Wampanoag recipes like Indian pudding, Succotash, Herring and fried eels. The rest are modern European recipes like Kale soup, Irish soda bread, marinara sauce, gazpacho, welsh rarebit, chicken tetrazzini and grape nut pudding. Don't get me wrong it is full of information about the author, his childhood and the Wampanoag people. Its just does not live up to its name. It does have a few good (all be it basic) recipes for modernized recipes adapted from the Wampanoag people like boiled dinner, red flannel hash, clam bake, clam chowder, pot roast, bean pot bread, pheasant, grouse, quail, plover, raccoon, striped bass, baked scrod, codfish cakes, muscles, oysters, corn chowder, cranberry sauce and bread pudding. If your looking for a recipe for Sobaheg or Nasaump look else wear.The title should be "Recipes from Cape Cod Eastern Massachusetts and the Wampanoag people.

Great cookbook which includes recipes used in a Mashpee, MA restaurant run by the former chief of the Wampanoag tribe. So far, delicious results served with local history. Unique cookbook written by the descendants of the Wampanoag Indians who greeted the Pilgrims.

I live on Cape Cod and have eaten at the Flume Restaurant before it was sold. Being born here, a lot of the recipes I enjoyed as a kid and have continued to make for my family. I really enjoyed the pictures and lore of the Wampanoag Indians!

Great book. I know the author personally, & have made over a dozen dishes from this book. BEST COOKBOOK out there!!!

delicious and historically accurate!!!!
