The Salmon Sisters: Harvest & Heritage: Seasonal Recipes and Traditions that Celebrate the Alaskan Spirit by Emma Teal Laukitis and Claire Neaton, soaring beyond its cookbook designation, highlights stories of women living and eating well amid the natural abundance bestowed upon the state of Alaska. Featuring 60 fresh, hearty dishes that are simple to prepare, the Salmon Sisters celebrate fall with Smoked Salmon-Chive Buttermilk Biscuits while a bountiful Fish Pie with Lemon-Dill Cream Sauce welcomes winter.
No matter how far from Alaska one resides, the Salmon Sisters offer readers a multisensory connection to their wild and wonderful home. Those who enjoy learning about the traditions and history of recipes will find much to admire in the stunning full-color photography by Dawn Heumann and the moving personal narratives accentuated in this beautifully illustrated volume. --Shahina Piyarali, reviewer
