The Prickly Pear Cookbook by Carolyn Niethammer

The Prickly Pear Cookbook by Carolyn Niethammer

I remember the first time I grew a Prickly Pear Cactus in my garden, and I fell immediately in love with it.

This charming cookbook celebrates the Prickly Pear Cactus and offers a culinary adventure that will transport you to the heart of the American Southwest. Hidden beneath those prickly spines lies a treasure trove of delicious and nutritious fruit.

The spines of the plant protect it from being eaten. Fortunately, there is a way to get around them.

This cookbook contains 60 recipes for using the cactus fruit in addition to the pads – all of which are edible and nutritious. And Carolyn teaches that it is increasingly included in the treatment of diabetes. Carolyn is a wild food expert and a master cook.

Carolyn shares a diverse collection of 56 international recipes featuring prickly pear, from refreshing smoothies to savory entrees. Niethammer, a master cook and wild-food expert, guides you through the process, from harvesting and preparing the prickly pear to creating stunning dishes that will impress your taste buds.

Highlights of the book include:

• Mouthwatering recipes for everything from prickly pear salsa to prickly pear wine
• Expert tips on harvesting, preparing, and storing prickly pear
• Beautiful full-color photographs that showcase the vibrant colors and textures of the fruit
