Wild Rice for All Seasons Cookbook By Beth Anderson. Wild rice has been harvested for centuries in lakes, streams and rivers by the American Indians living in the northern tier of what is now the central United States. By the 1970's, wild rice had emerged as a cultivated grain in Minnesota that could be marketed throughout the year. This book was created at that time to explain the basics avout this nutritious grain and to explore and encourage its use in all seasons--not just at fall game dinners and holiday celebrations.
