I have enjoyed this cookbook in which many have shared their favorite recipes. So far everything I have tried, my family has liked. There's a bit of everything in this book and it is a fun one.

I bought this cookbook while visiting AK. I love to bake and there are some terrific and easy recipes in here. A cookbook I will use often.

Given the climate of Alaska, and the cost of necessarily imported ingredients, wanted to see what Alaskans typically cook in home kitchens. Use of native foods, berries, greens, etc., is interesting and practical. The recipes used are delicious and easy here in the "outside". Makes me more than ever eager for our first trip to the largest state.

I bought this book in Alaska for my mother and when I got home I went through the book and decided to get a copy for myself. I bought what I thought was going to be a gently used copy. When it arrived not only was it like brand new it was also autographed by the author. I was very surprised. I have already tried some of the recipes and they are very good.

I was a little dubious about ordering this cookbook. Alaska isn't famous for it's cuisine. Well, I was very pleasantly surprised! It turns out there's a lot of good cooking in Alaska! With those loooong, cold, winter nights there isn't a lot to do except eat, and Alaskans seem to have figured out that you should eat well! The cookbook focuses on recipes using the wealth of fish, seafood and game available to Alaskan cooks, as well as native fruits and berries. There are many, many tempting recipes for moose, venison, salmon and halibut. Almost all of the recipes (with the exception of the Eskimo recipes included more as a curiosity) are easily adaptable in the Lower 48 using different fish or meat. Check out this cookbook -- you'll be pleased with it, I'm sure!

Exactly what I expected, having seen this book before. New Condition. Nice product, good seller!
