Book SynopsisFilled with stories of family, food, and culture, and interwoven with personal recipes and photographs taken by the author, My Father's Smokehouse folds the reader into a beautiful island landscape."Prescott emphasizes the importance of learning the traditional values of where one lives, gratitude for what the land and sea provide, and the responsibility to share with community."—Anchorage Daily News"[Prescott’s] book is filled with traditions, memories and stories surrounding Southeast Alaska life, including a family’s perseverance, the wisdom of Sámi and Tlingit cultures, and respect for elders and their knowledge of the culture. The smokehouse at the fish camp is named after her father."—Wrangell SentinelThe smokehouse at Mickey's Fishcamp holds more than fish.

Here, next to the rainforest and sea, author Vivian Faith Prescott has found her place in the world. She is a student and teacher of the natural environment—harvesting spruce tips, berries, sea lettuce, and goose tongue and processing salmon, halibut, and hooligan—who combines traditional practices with modern knowledge.Heartwarming and introspective, My Father's Smokehouse tells one woman's stories of Traditional Knowledge that is learned and passed on, from one generation to the next.Table of ContentsIntroduction: Sense of Time, Sense of Seasons: Sea and Forest Seasoning; Spruce Tip Juice & Salt FIRST FISHCAMP CYCLE Skunk Cabbage: A Harbinger of Spring: Roasted Salmon in Skunk Cabbage Leaves Harvesting the Soon Bloom: Oven-Dried Popweed Ceremony: Cute-Little-Raven's Herring Egg Salad Eat Your Trees: Spruce Tip Iced Tea My Father's Smokehouse: Fishcamp Salmon Spread; Dad's Salmon Spread Lessons from the Devil's Club Lady: Black Bean Salad with Devil's Club Tips The Underside of Leaves: Salmonberry Scones A Family of Crabbers: Island Crab Cakes; Spruce Tip Mayonnaise; Wild Alaskan Berry Sauce Art-Thinking at Mickey's Fishcamp: Salmonberry–Spruce Tip Artisan Butter Being Mummo: Foraging for Goose Tongue: Wrangell Ranch Dressing 13 Ways of Looking at Dog Salmon: Fishcamp Ikura (Salmon Caviar) Afloat: Spruce Tip–Labrador Tea–Salmonberry-Infused Water Halibut Sustains Us: Halibut Crepes Backyard Glaciers: Tote Ice Tea for Community: Labrador Tea Encounters with the Giant Pacific Octopus: Smoked Octopus Salad Red Huckleberry: Food for Songbirds: Mickey's Huckleberry Dream Pie Wrangell Winter Games: Shrimp Sandwiches Winter Stories: Salmon Patties; Spruce Tip Tartar Sauce; Fireweed Dipping Sauce SECOND FISHCAMP CYCLE Field Guide to Finding Hope: Put an Egg on it and Dip it in Coffee Gathering Red Seaweed: Dried Red Seaweed A Bunch of Hooligans: Smoked Hooligan Fresh Spring Rolls Carrying on Traditions: Spruce Tip Oatmeal; Spruce Tip Toast The Art of Salmon: Fishcamp Salmon Tacos The Treat Beneath Your Feet: Dried Sea Lettuce Muskeg Love: Muskeg Muffins Gifts from the Porcupine: Spruce Tip Chocolate Brownies It's the Little Fish in Life: Rainbow Smelt: Fried Rainbow Smelt (How Dad Does It) The Bunchberry Yoik: Mixed Alaskan Berry Hand Pies Lungs of the Island: Usnea Tea Highbush Cranberries and Traditional Values: Highbush Cranberry Jelly Listening to the Forest: "Stop the Shouting and Listen to the Sunset" Stink Currants and Landslides: Stink Currant Jelly Winter Blues: Blueberry Water; Winter Blueberry Smoothie Salmon Head Soup: Salmon Head Soup The Practice of Gifting: Spruce Tip Sugar Cookies Winter Kings: White King Salmon Chowder What I've Learned from Living at Fishcamp: Mickey's Fishcamp Tips

Book SynopsisNothing causes a stir on social media platforms like a topical discussion on the latest food trend. Modern-day chefs like to think that they are creative and often claim to push boundaries of food creation, but if we want to explore real culinary creativity then we need to look to our ancestors. Writer and food historian, Seren Charrington-Hollins delves into the history of culinary experimentation to bring us some of the weirdest and most stomach-churning food delicacies to ever grace a dining table. She uncovers the rather gruesome history behind some everyday staples, uncovers bizarre and curious recipes, whilst casting a light on foods that have fallen from culinary grace, such as cows udders and tripe; showing that revulsion is just a matter of taste, times and perhaps knowledge. From pickled brains to headcheese, through to song birds and nymph's thighs, this book explores foods that have evoked disgust and delight in diners depending on culinary perspective. So pull up a chair, unfold your napkin and get ready for a highly entertaining and enlightening journey to explore what makes a recipe revolting? Be warned; you'll need a strong stomach and an open mind.

Book SynopsisFor 25 years, the Burdon family have managed Jervaulx Abbey, one of the largest privately owned Cistercian abbeys in the UK. This book celebrates the wonderful cakes, bakes and chutneys they have become famous for in that time, all sold from the neighbouring Jervaulx Abbey Tearoom. From classic bakes such as their fruity tea bread to cakes with a modern twist such as their legendary red velvet cake, the loaves, tarts and tray bakes to emerge from the oven at Jervaulx have kept guests heartily fed for 25 years. Alongside these, they have also become famous for their range of relishes, jams and chutneys, which include a sumptuous Wensleydale beer and apple chutney, while their raspberry and almond cake was named Best Free-From Product at the Deliciously Yorkshire Awards in 2017. The tearoom is run by Ian Burdon and his wife Carol, and their two daughters Gayle and Anna, but it was Ian’s father, Major Burdon, who bought the land and what remained of the twelfth century abbey as a place to return to his Yorkshire roots in 1971. The abbey’s significant restoration project was managed by his sons, Rae and Ian, before in 1993, Ian and Carol repurchased part of the estate and converted a couple of greenhouses into the Jervaulx Abbey Tearoom, with daughters Gayle and Anna joining the business 15 years later. By making and selling a range of freshly made food since then, using ingredients sourced locally from producers around Yorkshire, the Burdons have not only bought a great deal of joy to their customers over the years but they have also followed in the footsteps of the monks who originally lived and worked within the abbey’s walls. This book is a must-have not only for fans of the abbey and its tearoom, but for cake aficionados everywhere.
