The Menu: Soup, award nominations, and how to get a knife sharp

Sharp knives make for easier, quicker, and safer work in the kitchen and that’s why Nikki Tsabetsaye started offering her knife sharpening skills in her home at the Pueblo of Zuni in New Mexico.

These cold months, also known as “soup season,” bring out the coziest and hottest pots of Native soups and stews, swimming with traditional and wild ingredients, that make up a big part community identity and culture.

And, three Native-owned food businesses are nominated for a major culinary award. All this and more on The Menu, Native America Calling’s regular food feature hosted by Andi Murphy.
