Univeristy of Arizona Bookstore.“Mesquite has been a favored food in the Stinkin’ Hot Desert for well over 8,0. Praise be to the Desert Harvesters for making “la pechita del mesquite” more hip than hip hop or industrial- strength chip dip. Mesquiteros of the world unite! Ahua!”– Gary Nabhan, terroir- ist and co- founder of Sabores Sin Fronteras and Renewing America’s Food Traditions (RAFT)“You’ll love this great collection: from home cookin’ to party fare, mouth- watering recipes celebrating the sweetest native bean trees of the Sonoran bioregion, and more. A toast (hmm, mesquite syrup, lime, tequila, salt?) to the dedicated locavores who made Eat Mesquite! Viva el mesquite!”– Addam Buzzalini, Executive Chef Maynard’s Market“The title says it all – “Eat Mesquite!” – a wonderful book that focuses on a plant that’s been incredibly important to cultures forhundreds of years – today maligned by some, but revered by many who are health- conscious and adventurous. A wonderful compilation by Desert Harvesters for a wonderful plant!”– Wendy Hodgson, author Food Plants of the Sonoran Desert and Herbarium Curator/Research Botanist at Desert Botanical Gardens“When I started investigating desert foods, laborious hand grinding was the only way to turn mesquite pods into meal. Now Desert Harvesters has made it easy to lay in a stock of silky, sweet mesquite meal to use in these recipes. A community of creative cooks take you from breakfast through dessert, highlighting again this food that has sustained desert dwellers for untold centuries.”– Carolyn Niethammer, author of American Indian Cooking: Recipes from the Southwest and The Prickly Pear Cookbook“While working for the Pascua Yaqui tribe in the 1. I found their sweet woody- honey flavor irresistible and I became somewhat of a connoisseur, preferring the beans from certain trees and carrying a little stash around in my pockets. Beyond chewing them and throwing a few bean pods on the coals of my grill, though, I never knew exactly what to do with them. Finally, with Eat Mesquite!, there is a book that focuses attention on this rich and abundant crop from arid lands. Eat Mesquite! The commentary and recipes are authoritative and mouth- watering. Bon appetit mesquite!”– Scott Calhoun, author of The Hot Garden: Landscape Design for the Desert Southwest“We are so fortunate to have Desert Harvesters promoting our bountiful native foods. They’ve teamed up with food adventurers, lovers, and researchers to uncover myriad ways of, and advantages to, using what grows naturally in the Sonoran Desert. These tasty explorations invite readers into healthy, diabetes- resistant eating habits, but the education doesn’t stop there. Desert Harvesters is so committed to empowering people to eat the goodness from our ubiquitous native Velvet Mesquite, that they long ago purchased a mobile hammermill to transform sweet and healthy mesquite pods into delectable flour. This quick and easy service is available to anyone willing to collect and store the pods until annual milling events every fall. This wonderful cookbook, along with their website, will teach you how to collect, store, and use this harvest. Don’t miss out!”– Nancy Zierenberg, Arizona Native Plant Society.

The process of the cookbook’s creation also built and educated community, as we worked with many individuals, chefs, and community groups to find, perfect, and share fantastic recipes celebrating our delicious and abundant native foods. To that end we had a mesquite foods tasting and celebration on June 2. Mercado on West Congress. It was great fun and tasty! Some of the mesquite treats featured included: Mesquite ice cream. Mesquite beer. Mesquite/olive tapenade. Mesquite juice. Mesquite cornbread, and oh so much more! Prior to the tasting we had a demonstration on how to harvest, store, and process mesquite pods for eating. We hope to make this an annual event to kick off the harvest season before the monsoon rains. Photos from the mesquite recipe- tasting event, courtesy of Ian Fritz, are posted below.
