Pacific Northwest - The Beautiful Cookbook

[CaNINE]

Cooking is sort of therapeutic passion. Turning my fish and game bounty into fine meals is so satisfying. Ive had this book for 30 years. Many remarkable recipes. Cherished family favorites and special meal memories abound.

Curious who else has this book and some of your favorites.

I don't have that one. I have about 50-60 others, though. James Beard is a favorite PNW chef and I have a few of his. New Fish Cookery of his is a favorite. I also have quite a few from the chefs I've worked with for many years and the CIA cookbook, The Professional Chef, Larousse Gastronomique, And The Elk Hunter's Cookbook (which hasn't been opened in quite a while). I might check yours out.

Like many cookbooks this one is structured by categories….soups, salads and appetizers; fish and shellfish; meat, poultry and game; vegetables, grains and preserves; desserts, coffee and beverages.

Interspersed are sections discussing history and highlights of various regions of the PNW:  Vancouver Island and the San Juans, Eastern Washington, Western Oregon, etc.

Some of our favorites:

Scotch Broth which calls for lamb but I substitute deer or antelope.
Crab Louis, the original from the old Olympic Hotel.
Oyster Stew
Hangtown Fry
Cranberry pot roast which is amazing with any game roast but especially bear
The canning section is quite good with preserves, chutneys and such
Huckleberry slump is a favorite done up in a Dutch oven

Im not even scratching the surface really.

If you can find a copy I highly recommend.

I just bought a hardback copy off of eBay for $6.50 . Thanks for the recommendation.

Figure for that price if I don't use it ill pass it along .

"Cranberry pot roast which is amazing with any game roast but especially bear"

I'd like to see this recipe as I got a bear roast that I am trying to figure out how I want to prepare it.

The Spanish lamp shank stew has been a favorite of ours for years using game shanks instead. Apparently I’m supposed to call this osso buco. I do feel a bit more superior when serving it under that name.
