📝 Description: The Big Sky Bounty Cookbook: Local Ingredients and Rustic Recipes

"Although the book offers a strong nod to gourmet cooking, the recipes are not complicated, and the ingredients are honest and straightforward." --Yellowstone Valley WomanFrom mountain streams in the west to rolling prairies in the east, Montana's habitats and natural resources offer an abundance of culinary possibilities. The mountains provide the necessities for a delightful elk tenderloin with huckleberry demi-glace, while the prairie contributes to rattlesnake cakes with roasted red pepper remoulade. Gardens and farms statewide produce the makings of Aunt Lois O'Toole's rhubarb strawberry pie. ? Chef Barrie Boulds and author Jean Petersen present locally sourced epicurean dishes that exude Montanan charm. Historical context enhances seventy-five easy yet sophisticated recipes celebrating unique flavors and heritage--with forewords from Chef Eric Trager and Western Ag Reporter editor Linda Grosskopf.
