I've been to Anchorage twice and each time to the Double Musky Inn. These recipes are exactly spot on. The french pepper steak and double musky pie come out perfect.

My ex-husband works for the Double Musky Inn. This book brings back many fond memories. The writings are great as well as the recipes. Since my ex is one of the chefs there, I know first hand that these are the ACTUAL recipes that they use right there in the restaurant. Its a must have souvenior of Alaska. Way to go Bob and Deana.

there are so many good things about this book, not sure where to start...i love everything in it and everything about the musky! we are lucky to have the double musky in alaska!

Bob & Deanna have done a marvelous job with this book. The stories, photo's and receipes are wonderful. We have been fortunate enough to visit The Double Musky Inn for many years and it is by far the best in the state. If you are unable to visit The Inn, this is the next best thing!!

A great cookbook but it tends to be excessively salty on some recipes. Sadly, it does not have the recipe or directions for making "Jacked Up Shrimp"

I LOVE TO COOK . I own more than 100 cookbooks but none like this one. I received mine as a gift and it turned into my favorite very quickly. Beside "How to make rue's and terrific sauces it was an interesting read. I bought it as a gift for graduation for my niece who was a culinary student and she agrees it is a great read.

I collect cookbooks. I've been to this restaurant several times and add this book to my collection.

I lived in Alaska over 35 years and always ate at the Double Musky located in Girdwood, Alaska. There food is WONDERFUL. I was so happy to see them product a cookbook of their great meals. This cookbook is a great addition to a cookbook collector or for anyone that just loves great food. A+++ Plus it makes me remember how much I miss living in Alaska. :)

We've been to the Musky many times over the years, and the food doesn't disappoint. When the DM cookbook came out, my friends and I decided to tackle it by sharing a few recipes over a potluck dinner. What a fun and a delicious evening we had! The coconut salmon was exotic, easy, and a crowd pleaser. The shrimp-stuffed avocado was gorgeous and decadent, but it can also be served unstuffed, on some interesting greens, with shrimp and avocado arranged over the top for lighter fare. We followed this by the wonderful jalapeno cheese rolls, steamy and fragrant from the oven. Next was the exquisite French pepper steak, with its unusual preparation that left guests wondering as to the secret ingredient. Finally, for us chocolate lovers, the Double Musky pie could not be missed. The recipes really lived up to the restaurant and were loads of fun to prepare.

Our friends in Alaska presented us with this great book but unfortunately we were unable to visit the actual restaurant. I like cookbooks with commentary, especially the kind that describes the history of the place or the meal.

We have tried many recipes and all have been perfect. The Ceviche (Seviche/Cebiche) was outstanding. In fact, I am having some tonight with some Halibut I caught in the Bay of Alaska. The Pecan Breaded Chicken was another winner as was the beer-battered Halibut - high end Fish & Chips. Especially helpful was the long list of sauces, rubs, spices and marinades. Having these ready before hand really speeds things up and makes the food zing. The Cherry Creme Cheese Pie adds a pound per bite and yet it is worth every calory.
