Book Description

Publication Date: January 1, 2010

Great recipes from a celebrated resort.

Whitewater Resort in the Canadian Rockies is renowned for its spectacular scenery, deep snow and Fresh Tracks Café. Despite constant pleading from customers, recipes for dishes made famous there were as unattainable as snowflakes in July. Even the café staff was sworn to secrecy. Now, Whitewater Cooks opens the kitchen doors.

With this eagerly anticipated book, home cooks can re-create chef Shelley Adams' signature dishes. Readers will enjoy over 70 recipes from the café's selection of top sellers -- from warming soups to desserts -- indulging in such culinary favorites as:

• Whiskey-smoked salmon chowder
• Ymir curry bowl
• Whitewater veggie burger
• Runaway train wrap
• Peppercorn, brandy and gorgonzola sauce
• Crackle top snowy mountain cookies
• Whitewater brownies.

Whitewater Resort is internationally recognized for its alpine scenery and the fine quality of its food. Now home cooks everywhere can share its most celebrated dishes.

5.0 out of 5 stars Terrific Cookbook, September 7, 2007

By 

Molly "book lover" (Albion, WA USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Whitewater Cooks (Paperback)

I love this cookbook. The pictures alone are wonderful, and the recipes themselves turn out both beautiful to look at and delicious to eat. I've made about ten of the recipes. So far, our favorites are the black bean vegetarian chili, the corn bread, and the white chocolate-hazelnut brownies. The only criticism I have is that the book is poorly edited. Some of the ingredients are not specific enough (for example, "1 tsp mint"; dried? extract? fresh chopped?) and the instructions are sometimes incomplete. Still, by guessing as best I could, the recipes turned out well. I hope that the next edition of this book is more complete and specific.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great cookbook full of fresh ideas, April 11, 2007

This review is from: Whitewater Cooks (Paperback)

Over the years I've had the pleasure of visiting the Whitewater Resort and the Fresh Tracks Cafe many times and neither I, nor anyone in my family has ever been disappointed in the food that we've had - we've always enjoyed it. So when I found out that they had a cookbook, I immediately bought it - and again, I have not been disappointed.

It's full of great recipes (I've tried several and LOVE them all) that are fresh, easy and yummy. The recipes tend to be on the healthy side (which I like) but are not lacking in flavor in anyway - they are some of the most flavorful I've had. They are also very simple and most could be made quickly on a weeknight. This is a definite keeper for us!

I am a cook book addict, but this is our favorite.. Without exception, every recipe in Whitewater Cooks is a winner, so much so that we are about to order seven more as gifts.
