Recipes from the Last Frontier's Best Chefs

From Library Journal
Severson, former restaurant critic for the Anchorage Daily News, says she got a lot of comments about whale blubber when she mentioned her latest project. But she and Denkler, a "hotshot chef" turned culinary instructor, have put together a collection of sophisticated recipes from a dozen of Alaska's top chefs, without a hint of blubber. Not surprisingly, seafood, from king crab to Copper River wild salmon to Kodiak diver scallops, does feature prominently. A number of books have showcased Hawaii's talented cooks, and now here's a look at the food of our other noncontiguous state. For regional libraries and larger collections of chefs' and seafood cookbooks.

From the back cover: "Kim Severson has given us an original cookbook that is splendid. She shows us the beauty of Alaska - a close, small community of fascinating people - and then gives us a rich collection of flavorful recipes that can be made at home. This is a cookbook that you will use and use." - Marion Cunningham, author of the Fannie Farmer Cookbook and Learning to Cook

Recipes from the Last Frontier - "Imagine having to figure out how to secure fresh arugula or raspberries during a cold snap that sends the temperature to 40 below zero," writes author Kim Severson in The New Alaska Cookbook - the first ever to explore the modern culinary style of Alaska. In a state where weather and geography can pose serious challenges in the kitchen, many talented chefs are still drawn to Alaska's remarkable natural bounty. From fat diver scallops of Kodiak Island to prized salmon from the Copper River to morels the size of your hand, today's best chefs have a stunning array of raw ingredients from which to create original and sophisticated dishes. Emphasizing fresh ingredients, ethnic influences, and easy resourcefulness, the more than 120 recipes here will conjure up the wonder and beauty of the Last Frontier for home cooks everywhere.
