The Blue Corn Kitchen

Alana Yazzie is the creator of The Fancy Navajo, a lifestyle and food blog launched in 2014, that follows Alana’s life as a contemporary Diné/Navajo woman living in the city of Phoenix, Arizona. Originally from Northwest New Mexico, Alana inspires others to embrace their culture, wherever they live, by sharing a variety of lifestyle content such as recipes, fashion, and gardening infused with her Navajo heritage. Alana’s greatest passion is developing innovative and approachable recipes that use Indigenous and Southwestern ingredients. Through The Fancy Navajo, she enjoys capturing her Navajo lifestyle in modern and bright settings to showcase the continued presence and thriving of Indigenous peoples. Yazzie’s first book, The Modern Navajo Kitchen, was published by Wellfleet Press in 2024.
