The Fiddlehead Restaurant and Bakery has been a Juneau tradition since 1978, when its founder established a menu that celebrated Alaska's bounty of fresh, delicious ingredients and its jubilant spirit of adventure. In this lively and eclectic cookbook, the Fiddlehead Restaurant teams presents 150 of its most acclaimed, sought-after recipes. The colorful collection ranges from fresh Alaskan salmon and halibut to robust soups and sandwiches, light and healthy pasta dishes, grilled meats and stir fry, authentic sourdough breads, edible greens, wild berries, and extraordinarily delicious desserts--all prepared with creative flair and old-fashioned neighborliness that have made the Fiddlehead famous. Interspersed throughout are fascinating sidebars on such Alaskan passions as berry picking and glacier picnics, the fine art of smoking fish or preparing a while poaching salmon for holiday entertaining, and the springtime search for wild edibles like fiddlehead ferns, fireweed, beach asparagus, and morel mushrooms. Brimming with Alaskan freshman and pride, The Fiddlehead Cookbook will delight everyone who longs to shares in this generous coastal cuisine.
I love, love, love this book! Everything I have made from it both my kids and husband not only will eat but ask for over and over. I was hoping they had written another one...no such luck yet.
For Alaska-lovers and foodies, this book is the greatest.

This cookbook would be fun reading even if you didn't cook! I especially loved the Alaska tidbits in the sidebars.

The VERY BEST Alaskan Cookbook. You need it
Easy breads for new bakers, great seafood recipes

I live a block away from the restaurant, but find myself turning to the book to cook one of their specialities at home, especially Halibut Caddy Ganty, Pasta Greta Garbo, or some of their hearty soups.This book finally inspired me to start baking my own bread again, too. Their basic whole wheat bread recipe is great for a single person since it's for one loaf.This is a wonderful book for seafood lovers, especially if you want to impress your friends with some inspired fish recipes. It's obvious that the cooks who wrote this book love cooking, and want readers to enjoy it too!
Best Alaskan cookbook ever written
