Tasting Sápmi is more than just tasting its food. It means enjoying culinary
and cultural traditions dating back thousands of years, shaped by rugged
highlands, pristine forests and the hearts and hands of Europe?s indigenous
people, the Sámi. This book is a tribute to Sámi cuisine, its traditions
and its future. This cookbook is unique in that traditional knowledge was
previously only passed between generations orally. Alongside historical
information and modern personal stories, a combination of traditional
and innovative recipes provides a good understanding of the possibilities
of Sámi cuisine. Slow Food Sápmi has produced this book, in cooperation
with Sámi food projects and food producers from Swedish Sápmi.
