Abstract
This book aims to critically examine the barriers within gaining access to culturally significant food and food sovereignty in Maine. While also providing an image of what this can look like and why it’s so crucial to keep aiming high in regards to food freedom. My Recipes include dishes from Indigenous pathways, specifically Penobscot, Franco Americans, and Somalia. While these are obviously not all the cultures and communities that call Maine home, they offer crucial insight into food as a cultural tool. Enjoy these narratives that capture the beauty in culturally significant food and pathways to reach a better food future.
