"This cookbook designed to uplift Indigenous California foods will delight foragers, adventurous home cooks, and those looking to connect with Native roots. It's a valuable addition to library shelves that will connect Native and non-Native Americans to the earth and its abundant gift of ingredients." -- Library Journal, "This cookbook designed to uplift Indigenous California foods will delight foragers, adventurous home cooks, and those looking to connect with Native roots. It's a valuable addition to library shelves that will connect Native and non-Native Americans to the earth and its abundant gift of ingredients." -- Library Journal "With Chími Nu'am , Olson looks to encourage people to start thinking about a decolonized diet, connecting to the land and native ingredients prior to European colonization [... and] aims to make Indigenous ingredients and traditional Karuk recipes accessible to a whole range of home cooks." -- Nina Friend, BBC World's Table " Chími Nu'am is serious about taking a holistic view of reintegrating the healthfulness of traditional diets into modern lives, benefiting both personal well-being and the greater good." -- Naomi Tomky, Atlas Obscura "To say that Chími Nu'am is just a cookbook is inaccurate.

Acknowledging, 'we are all colonized,' it's also a forgiving book in terms of exactitude and substitution. [Olson] also encourages readers to consider ways to engage mindfully with Indigenous culture and communities ('Are there Native elders in your community that could benefit from your labor first?'), and keep stewardship of natural resources in mind, rather than simply scooping up ingredients for a recipe." -- North Coast Journal
