Equal parts cookbook and manifesto, this beautifully photographed
collection is the ultimate guide to local eating in Alberta all through
the year.
Eat Alberta First presents 90 tried and true recipes in celebration of
Alberta's farmers, ranchers, and food artisans. Alberta Food Tours
founder and enthusiastic locavore Karen Anderson's love of her province
is enriched with the experience gained during her extensive global
travels. Organized around uniquely Alberta seasons (including "Cabin
Fever" and "Harvest Hurry Up"), with mini workshops on sourdough,
foraging, and canning, gorgeous food and landscape photography, and an
Alberta food sourcing list, the book is designed to help the home cook
build reliance on their skills and on the province's food producers.
Beginning with detailed lists of pantry essentials and an introduction
to the skill levels each recipe is organized by, Karen then takes
readers through the seasons, from the depths of winter (when the tough
get baking), through always dicey springs, full-on summer, harvest, and
batch prepping for a busy fall. The book concludes with a chapter
dedicated to hosting a diversity of feasts all year round.
Learn to make Morel Mushroom Cheese Spread, Never the Same Way Twice
Coleslaw, Slow-Cooked Alberta Bison, Long Life Noodles with Greens, the
ultimate charcuterie board, Festive Vegetable Biryani, Summer's Every
Fruit Cake, and many many more. We think you'll find Karen's gusto and
belief in the power of local truly inspiring.
