school. He is a cultural anthropologist who also happens to be a
Cherokee Amerindian. His passion is cooking and this is a recipe that
he assures me is genuinely ethnic to his people in North Carolina.
The changes from the items *'d are his not mine. The measurements
have been converted for us as well. He claims we would like to
measure out a hand- ful of this and a small pinch of that. Enjoy!
