Recipes and stories from Alaska's beloved restaurant
The Fiddlehead Restaurant and Bakery has been a Juneau tradition since 1978, when its founders established a menu celebrating Alaska's bounty of fresh ingredients and its jubilant spirit of adventure. In this lively and eclectic cookbook, the Fiddlehead team presents 150 of its most sought-after recipes. The colorful collection ranges from fresh Alaskan salmon and halibut to robust soups, healthy pasta dishes, authentic sourdough breads, wild berries, and extraordinary desserts—all prepared with creative flair and old-fashioned hospitality.
Interspersed throughout are fascinating sidebars on iconic Alaskan traditions like berry picking, glacier picnics, and the fine art of smoking fish or poaching salmon for holiday entertaining. The book also highlights the springtime search for local wild edibles like fiddlehead ferns, fireweed, beach asparagus, and morel mushrooms.
Brimming with Alaskan freshness and pride, The Fiddlehead Cookbook will delight home cooks, outdoor enthusiasts, and anyone who wants to delight in this generous coastal cuisine.
