{"product_id":"9781550174755","title":"The Boreal Gourmet: Adventures in Northern Cooking","description":"\"Bring me moose meat! You will not be sorry!\" So says Whitehorse author and cook Michele Genest to the hunters in her circle. Wild is wonderful when it comes to Genest's creative treatments for northern viands, with exciting ideas such as moose cooked in Yukon-brewed espresso stout and finished with chocolate, lime and cilantro, Arctic char marinated in grappa and then hot-smoked, or roasted spruce grouse draped in a sour cream and Madeira sauce. As much culinary adventure story as cookbook, \u003ci\u003eThe Boreal Gourmet\u003c\/i\u003e combines a portrait of northern life with an exploration of wild or \"country\" foods in gourmet recipes for the home cook. These recipes are inspired by a diversity of countries, traditions and kitchens, and spring from a love affair with the indigenous foods that flourish in the boreal forests and river valleys of the Yukon.\u003cp\u003eWhitehorse author and chef Michele Genest has recipes for every season supported with information on such northern plants as \u003ci\u003eArtemisia frigida\u003c\/i\u003e, or pasture sage, and its effect on the flavour of the wild Dall sheep that graze on it, the mysteries of morel mushrooms and tips on where to find them, and advice from Dawson City's Uncle Berwyn on the proper use of birch syrup.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTaking us from salmon, spruce tips and gourmet greens to recipes for artisanal sourdoughs and festive solstice menus, \u003ci\u003eThe Boreal Gourmet\u003c\/i\u003e is an unprecedented collection to inspire both the serious gourmand (who will want to search out wild ingredients in his or her own backyard) and anyone with an appreciation for the culinary delights available north of sixty.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Harbour Publishing Company, Limited","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47034159235312,"sku":"9781550174755","price":26.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781550174755_p0.jpg?v=1763751808","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781550174755","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
