Food, Stories, and History Serve
up Memorable Feast in Unique Cookbook
Yellowstone
National Park is no ordinary place, and The Yellowstone
National Park Cookbook is no ordinary cookbook. Author
Durrae Johanek, driven by her twin loves of cooking and
the park, serves up a unique gastronomical delight in this
exceptional collection of recipes, all of which have unusual
connections to the park. The recipes are interspersed with
personal tales, park history, and profiles of those sharing
their recipes. From favorite backpacking snacks offered
by backcountry rangers to gourmet entrees from the park’s
notable lodges, this book runs the gustatorial gamut from
wolf project leader Doug Smith’s Lentil Soup to park
biologist Cheryl Jaworowski’s Nut Mix. Park superintendent
Suzanne Lewis takes time out of her busy schedule to share
some of her best recipes, and park historian Lee Whittlesey
remembers his Mother’s Chicken. Tour leaders, bear
watchers, and geyser gazers offer park anecdotes along
with their special recipes. Open the pages of this book
and dig into Norris Egg Salad Sandwiches, Upper Geyser
Basin Pot Roast, and Old Faithful Inn Delight Cake.
In all, The
Yellowstone National Park Cookbook contains 125
unforgettable recipes, each one flavored by the wonder
of Yellowstone.
The
paperback book with a lay-flat binding is only $19.95 and
can be found at most area bookstores or by calling Riverbend
Publishing toll-free at 1-866-787-2363.
