Synopsis:
The Salmon Recipes is a visual feast of the culinary practices of the people of British Columbia's North Coast, packaged into a stunning photographic essay that displays both our traditional and modern artisanal food skills. This historic book includes a first-ever published collection of North Coast culinary delights—ranging from rare, traditional salmon preparation techniques to avant-garde seafood experiments with subtle flavours, side by side with stories from Robert Davidson, Susan Musgrave and captivating amateurs. This book came together over our concerns about a proposed oil tanker port invading our North Coast fiords, where the salmon return each year to renew the land and its people. In between these covers you'll discover a breathtaking photographic experience of our land that offers a unique insight into the culture, the wildlife and the rich ecosystems of the North Coast. And you will find that our land lives, breathes and tastes like salmon.
