Potawatami Chef Pyet DeSpain's new cookbook is part food, part memoir and part homage to her fusion of heritages

"Rooted in Fire," the new cookbook by award-winning chef Pyet DeSpain brims with recipes celebrating both her Potawatami and Mexican heritages. But it's also a memoir of grit and resilience, and a treasure trove of information about Indigenous culture, language and heritage.

DeSpain, who made headlines winning Gordon Ramsey's "Next Level Chef," joins host Robin Young to talk about recipes, rituals, sustainability, resilience, and, of course, Thanksgiving.
