5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent recipes for ALL kinds of game., June 17, 1998
By A Customer
Where else can you find recipes for Canadian Lynx Stew and Sauteed Salmon Steaks in the same place. Or, how about Sea Cucumber Fritters or Spruce Grouse with Blueberries. This cookbook is a mixture of "normal" and exotic recipes for ALL fish, shellfish, game, game birds, and edible plants that are available in Alaska. All of the recipes are excellent and most are entertaining just to read.

5.0 out of 5 stars A must-have for every Alaskan!, October 22, 2001
By T. Cox (Fairbanks, AK United States) - See all my reviews
As a new Alaska resident, I am so glad I stumbled upon this cookbook. My husband is an avid hunter and fisherman, and I love to garden and pick berries. Cooking Alaskan has recipes for all of our wild game, water foul, fish, seafood, herbs, vegetables, berries, and more! If you can hunt it, catch it, grow it, or pick it, there is a recipe in this cookbook for you. A majority of the recipes (if not all) are submitted by tried-and-true Alaskans, not fancy chefs, so they are easy to follow and use ingredients that can be found in any supermarket.

The best feature of Cooking Alaskan is perhaps not the recipes, but all of the extra information contained inbetween. Tips on harvesting, butchering, cleaning, and storing Alaska foods; lessons on identifying poisonous plants and berries; and antecdotes and stories of Alaskan culture are practical, useful, and most of all, entertaining. Cooking Alaskan is much more than just a cookbook!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great book on cooking, June 12, 2008
Even though I live in Louisiana, I think this is a great book on cooking. It has lots of useful ideas, and you can substitute your local foods for the Alaskan products. The important thing is that this book teaches how to use what you have on hand, and how to prepare it and make it tasty, the same way that Alaskans have adapted to their environment. Great book at a great price.
