Co-facilitated by Dana Rakinic and Jan Kruse, Literate Foodies meets the first Monday of each month at Desert Foothills Library to discuss topics at the intersection of food and literature. On Nov. 7, Literate Foodies will discuss Sean Sherman’s “The Sioux Chef's Indigenous Kitchen,” which introduces readers to recipes from a number of different tribal cultures across the United States. Among the dishes that are expected to make up the meeting’s menu is wild rice pilaf with wild mushrooms, roasted chestnuts and dried cranberries — a side that would be a welcome addition to any holiday feast.
