Summary

Chef Kirsten Dixon has successfully built her culinary reputation on the coupling of two themes: world-class cuisine and America's Last Frontier. Hailed by Bon Appetit, the James Beard House, Food Illustrated, the House of Blues, and Esquire, among many reviewers, Kirsten Dixon's elegant regional cuisine continues to excite international enthusiasm. Winterlake is one of three remote Alaska lodges operated by Kirsten and her husband; Carl. Nestled along the Iditarod Trail in the Alaska Range, Winterlake is accessible only by small plane, dog team, or snowmobile. Visitors are invariably gratified to sample her stylish fare along with log-cabin hospitality. In THE WINTERLAKE LODGE COOKBOOK, Kirsten divides the year into seasons, then commingles memoir and cooking lessons, inviting readers into this adventurous life. Lavishly illustrated with images of food, wildlife, and unsurpassable landscapes, this long-awaited sequel to Kirsten's RIVERSONG LODGE COOKBOOK (page 54) is as visually sumptuous as are her inspired recipes.
