Alaska's Wild Gourmet


Book Description

Alaska's Wild Gourmet is told through mouth-watering recipes and edge of your seat stories that begin on the darkest night of Sherri's soul with the suicide of her husband, Walt. In horror and in grief, she begins a nomadic journey around the world, mending the shattered pieces of her life, and birthing her culinary vision. Sherri Ewing-Rahmanop is a vibrating force of energy, tempered with purpose and love. Sherri's self- taught culinary journey began at the tender age of eight, and rose to a pinnacle of success when her extreme catering business was featured on National Geographic and The Outdoor Channel. Her family business served upscale meals, in pristine outdoor settings, throughout remote Alaska. Alaska's Wild Gourmet was born from her twenty years of journaling, and began as a cookbook to leave as a legacy to her children. During filming, tragedy imploded Sherri's world with the soul wounding suicide of her husband. She took her culinary vision on a healing journey around the world and finally in Mercy, her 24ft Mercedes RV. Her vision of connecting people through her food was birthed with her "HallelujahHollerBack" program where she asks guests to forage and donate ingredients for a coveted seat at her table. Sherri's journey is filled with incredible adventure and freedom today. She has found her own souls' expression with a unique soul-print unlike any other person. Today you can find Sherri in random RV resorts throughout America, teaching cooking courses, or donating her services to people that resonate with her soul food journey. She calls people in with her servant's heart and from the abundance that her life personifies. Sherri has opened her spirit to sharing her gifts, through speaking, to people who feel the same warrior calling. She speaks in churches, in support groups, at campfires, or any place that she happens to coddiwomple. "I am on a conscious journey of adventure, basking in an amazing experience. I travel the world making intentional choices that align with my purpose. God has brought the spiritual harmony that was lacking in my life. My love shows itself in the colors that spiral as I paint the world from the worship of my art." I have written this book for one person, the one who has been called to be a warrior. This person has a calling on their life to rise above circumstances, no matter how soul wrenching. This human has a servant's heart and will be found in service to others. This person was born for such a time as now. This soul will be enlightened and knows their purpose here. If you think this book is about you, it is. www.AlaskasWildGourmet.com

The Alaska from Scratch Cookbook


Book Description

From Alaska from Scratch blogger Maya Wilson comes a beautifully scenic cookbook celebrating Alaska and its ocean-to-table, homemade food culture. When Maya Wilson and her three kids transplanted to Alaska in 2011, she didn’t know what to expect. But what she ended up finding was home—and she turned her love for the gorgeous landscapes and fresh cuisine into the now hugely popular blog Alaska from Scratch. Maya’s first book is filled with 75 delicious, family-friendly recipes that are based on the seasonality of Alaska. There’s an abundance of wild berries, so summer recipes are full of them, and to get through the cold winters, she includes hearty soups and pot pies. Her recipes—sheet pan balsamic chicken, coffee chocolate chip banana bread, and Kenai cheeseburgers—are created for busy families like hers. And of course, she incorporates plenty of the seafood Alaska is famous for: halibut poached in Thai curry, a salmon superfood salad, and local recipes like reindeer sausage and moose shepherd’s pie.

The Whale and the Cupcake


Book Description

From fish and fiddleheads to salmonberries and Spam, Alaskan cuisine spans the two extremes of locally abundant wild foods and shelf-stable ingredients produced thousands of miles away. As immigration shapes Anchorage into one of the most ethnically diverse cities in the country, Alaska’s changing food culture continues to reflect the tension between self-reliance and longing for distant places or faraway homes. Alaska Native communities express their cultural resilience in gathering, processing, and sharing wild food; these seasonal food practices resonate with all Alaskans who come together to fish and stock their refrigerators in preparation for the long winter. In warm home kitchens and remote cafés, Alaskan food brings people together, creating community and excitement in canning salmon, slicing muktuk, and savoring fresh berry pies. This collection features interviews, photographs, and recipes by James Beard Award–winning journalist and third-generation Alaskan Julia O’Malley. Touching on issues of subsistence, climate change, cultural mixing and remixing, innovation, interdependence, and community, The Whale and the Cupcake reveals how Alaskans connect with the land and each other through food.

The Alaska Wild Berry Cookbook


Book Description

Whether you are the family berry picker, grocery store shopper or cook, here are the best time-tested recipes for cooking with the more abundant and popular species of wild berries indigenous to Alaska. It's all here, from currants to watermelon berries, from milkshakes to mincemeat. Included are recipes for breads, salads, main courses, desserts, preserves, candies, syrups, trail food, and even some beverages like juices, milkshakes, and punches. Many of the recipes are in the dessert category, but you will be surprised aw many other ways there are to use wild berries. Lowbush cranberries are particularly good in certain meat dishes, and are useful as a marinade for meat. Wild berries are fine for jam and jelly making, not to mention drying and freezing. Cultivated species may be substituted for wild berries in these recipes, but one must remember that they are often less tart than their wild relatives and adjustments in sugar added may be necessary.
