Book Review
Alaskan Cookbook for Home
steader or Gourmet — by Bess A.
Cleveland. Published by Howell
North Books. $3.95.
By Sig Digree
It is a well-known axiom that
Alaskans eat well. This despite the
fact that employment is seasonal,
as is the freighting in of supplies
in many areas, the short growing
season, and the distance from
sources of supplies.
Very few, if any, have starved
in Alaska. This is due mainly to
the great abundance of game,
whether in the forests, mountains,
lakes or sea. Variety is there, too,
to satisfy almost any taste.
Mrs. Cleveland’s Alaskan Cook
book is primarily designed and
written with this thought in mind.
It is for the homesteader or gour
met, and in its pages are found
many recipes for cooking Alaskan
style the great abundance of
fruits found in their wild state,
meat dishes from the animals that
roam this vast land, including
•bear, moose, caribou, sheep, goat,
reindeer, even to the lowly rabbit
and squirrel. The book embraces
recipes of seafood delicacies, from
the big king salmon, halibut, and
other game fish, as well as crab,
clams, and oysters.
The author claims to have cook
ed every recipe in the book, over
a span of fifty-three years, and
undoubetedly she has. Overall, it
is undoubtedly as good a collec
tion of recipes on Alaskan cook
ing as can be gathered into one
book.
Despite this, she has overlooked
one seafood near and dear to us
in Kodiak—namely the flavor
some and delicious king crab. She
dismisses this giant crustacean
with the sentence: “The king and
tanner crab in the Gulf of Alaska
and in the Bering Sea comprise an
untouched source of wealth for
future Alaskans.” Fishermen from
the South 48, please note: This
source of wealth has been and is
being tapped today, adding greatly
to the economy of Kodiak and the
Alutian Chain. We wouldn’t ad
vise a general stampede to get in
on the ground floor.
However, generally speaking, we
have no quarrel with the book.
From it’s opening pages dealing
with sourdough recipes to the
recipe for Grandmother’s Rose
Potpourri, you will be intrigued
by the titles of recipes and the
ease in which they can be follow
ed.
Have you ever tried a Kodiak
Bear steak? The recipe is found
in the pages of this book. The
author say’s black bear is unfit
for human consumption, because
of what they eat. Alaskan black
bear must differ from his Canadian
cousin. Hunting one time in the
Canadian wilds with two doctors,
who. immediately on dropping a
bear, performed an operation, dis
secting the stomach, and this wri
ter can testify, the stomach was
filled with vegetables and berries.
The meat, too, was surprising
good.
In the book, though, you will
find such recipes as “Soapy Smith”
corned beef and cabbage, moose
and venison mincemeat, pelican
halibut (this is halibut cheeks),
pirok—Russian salmon pie famil
iar to Kodiakans, rullepulse, lute
fisk, and even one of this writer’s
favorite recipes — fried halibut
fillets.
For those with a sweet tooth,
and those who like pastrys, there
is a “No eggs, no butter, no milk
cake” recipe; how to make North
Pole Frosting; Top of the World
frosting; Midnight Sun outmeal
cookies; pies. Also included are
recipes for furniture polish, wall
paper cleaner and soap.
In her acknowledgements, the
author has this to say: More than
just credit is due my husband, O.
R. Cleveland, who weathered the
many days of preparation, trial
and error, in collecting and pre
senting this book.
It would seem to us, her hus
band’s only problem was his waist
line.
