The Yellowstone National Park Cookbook

Yellowstone National Park is no ordinary place, and The Yellowstone National Park Cookbook is no ordinary cookbook. Author Durrae Johanek, driven by her twin loves of cooking and the park, serves up a unique gastronomical delight in this exceptional collection of recipes, all of which have unusual connections to the park. The recipes are interspersed with personal tales, park history, and profiles of those sharing their recipes.

Park superintendent Suzanne Lewis takes time out of her busy schedule to share some of her best recipes, and park historian Lee Whittlesey remembers his Mothers Chicken. Tour leaders, bear watchers, and geyser gazers offer park anecdotes along with their special recipes.
