| Sara Calvosa Olson’s communal and reciprocal approach to cooking came from her parents, a Karuk mother and a Calabrese-American father, who raised her in a homesteading family on Hupa lands in what we now call Humboldt County.
During her childhood, food security came through her family hunting, gathering, and cultivating plants. Now, as a food writer and chef living on Huiman Coast Miwok Land, Sara shares recipes and advice inspired by her heritage, all compiled in her book, Chími Nu’am: Native California Foodways for the Contemporary Kitchen. |
