By JoAnn Ellis, Vicki Penner
Recipes, reminiscences and lessons in Chickasaw life are the main ingredients for ilimpa’chi’ (We’re Gonna Eat!): A Chickasaw Cookbook, the first cookbook produced by the Chickasaw Press. Chickasaw cooks JoAnn Ellis and Vicki Penner selected recipes and illuminated them with glimpses and scenes from growing up around kitchens and outdoor cooking fires. ilimpa’chi’ also features a glossary of Chickasaw terms and phrases taken from traditions of food and family.
