That is why food killed, caught, or picked in their state is so highly prized by Alaskans. A cook since he was twelve, author J. Stephen Lay's recipes are authentic and mouthwatering. He has tongue firmly held in cheek as he explains why and how Alaskans eat as they do. The forty-five recipes include such unique items as Cranberry Moose Chili, Roasted Beaver Tale, Whole Cranberry Salsa, Bear Fat Biscuits, Eskimo Ice Cream, Manifold-roasted Salmon, and Honey that Never Saw a Bear. |

| Publisher Description: A serious cook since he was 11, and a funny fellow for as long as anyone can remember, author J. Stephen Lay has crafted an unusual recipe book tht will entertain and delight while causing your mouth to water...well, MOST of the time. When you add the fish to a recipe for Eskimo Ice Cream, you might have second thoughts about desert. The author's recipe for brussel sprouts, which he hates beyond reason, borders on slander against this poor, defenseless vegetable. And he's rather disrespectful of the ubiquitous zucchini, too. But what are you going to do with someone who inserts beer for the chef into his recipe? Notables among the 45 recipes are Cranberry Moose Chili, Roasted Beaver Tale, Russian Salmon Pie, Alaska-style borscht, and Honey That Never Saw a Bear. You'll need fish heads, skunk cabbage, and a couple of shovels for the Stink Head recipe. Yuck |
