DESCRIPTION
Discover the rich culinary traditions of the Pacific Northwest Coast in Gyetk: Coastal Fusion and Ancestral Knowledge from a Ts'msyen Kitchen, a beautifully photographed cookbook by Rachel Greening and Spencer Greening. Meaning "to feed the people," Gyetk celebrates the ancestral food knowledge, sustainable harvesting practices, and cultural traditions of the Ts'msyen (Tsimshian) people.
Featuring 60 recipes inspired by traditional ingredients and contemporary coastal cuisine, this cookbook follows the changing seasons and the foods they provide. Explore dishes featuring salmon, halibut, seaweed, venison, wild berries, hazelnuts, and other ingredients that have sustained Indigenous communities for generations. Recipes include Nettle Pesto with Toasted Hazelnuts, Honey Hazelnut-Crusted Sockeye Salmon, Smoked Chum Chowder with Coconut Milk, and Coastal Berry Crisp.
Beyond the recipes, the authors share traditional ecological knowledge, cultural stories, and practical guidance on harvesting, preservation, fermentation, and reducing food waste. Drawing on their backgrounds in Indigenous food sovereignty, nutrition, and cultural research, they explore the deep relationships between food, land, community, and well-being.
With stunning food and landscape photography, seasonal teachings, and a thoughtful approach to sustainable cooking, Gyetk is a valuable addition to the kitchen library of anyone interested in Pacific Northwest cuisine, Indigenous food traditions, and cooking in harmony with nature.

"Love the rotating seasonal items and the consistent supply of specialty office supplies!! Jerrol's makes it fun to pick up page protectors-- if I happen to also purchase a chicken-shaped mug or gorgeous wildflower apron while I'm there as well, that's just a happy accident lol :)"
"In one quick visit, I was able to get help finding art supplies for a new project as well as order some new release books for my daughters for Christmas. It’s great to have a small business in town that can do all that!"
"What a fun quirky place. Art supplies, RC cars, and puzzles, yep! Need a coffee while browsing the vintage clothing, sure! Office furniture, yep! Need some university gear, they have that too! Definitely worth a stop if you're in the area."
“I came in for something specific and left with exactly what I needed. The staff was incredibly helpful and knowledgeable.”
