Buckets of beans and piles of potatoes is what one old hard rock miner recalled of available food in the Yukon circa 1898. Today, new arrivals continue to bring intriguing flavour to the north. Backyard greenhouses, gardens covered with fabric during the cold spring evenings, as well as several big grocery stores have made food available and plentiful. However, if a forest fire closes the Alaska Highway, the big trucks might not make it up for a while.
Yukoners learn to be prepared; sometimes they have to rely on canned milk and delve a little deeper into the meat cache. The Desperation Beans recipe within this book will speak to anyone who has been stranded for days in the bush. Today's intrepid Chilkoot hikers aim for nutritious, super-light meals that will require minimal preparation once their hiking boots come off.
Flavour of the Land is a celebration of Yukon foods: enjoy eating a Bear Barrel Almond Cake up in the high alpine, or a quick-to-fix Curry in a Hurry along the Chilkoot Trail. Imagine an al fresco picnic atop a sunlit mountain ridge or hunkering down in a frigid blizzard with a warm, wild game supper in a cozy cabin. Maybe a moose will wander into your view... Or why not cast your line for salmon to be smoked and stored for the long winter ahead? Pick berries under the warmth of a bright August afternoon and make them into tarts and jams and jellies and pies. In doing so, you, too, can savour the flavour of this marvellous northern land.
Extensive period photos show tough and rugged Yukoners living off the land.
This is literally a book that has something for everybody, and every recipe has that authentic, home cooked taste that is unique to the far north.
