"Niam" is an Inuktitut word that means "yum," and the recipes in this
book are kid-tested for tastiness--a sure sign that they will live up to
the name! From simple smoothies to jerk chicken to pizza from scratch,
there is something in this book for all taste buds and skill sets. All
the ingredients are readily available in Nunavut communities, and all
the recipes can be made with country food, so kids both north and south
can learn how to create the perfect palaugo (a delightful hybrid of
pogos and palaugaaq, traditional Inuit bannock) or make a mean meatball.
Inspired by the Mamaqtuq Nanook Cooking Club, this cookbook isn't just
about simple, delicious, kid-friendly recipes. Woven in amongst the
tacos and the sugar cookies are ways to use cooking to give back to the
community, traditional Inuit knowledge about country food, and lists of
skills that kids will develop as they work their way through each
recipe. With recipes for even the littlest chef, this book offers the
most delicious kind of learning. Niam!
