About me: I have always liked to cook, particularly breads, fruits, vegetables, vegetarian, poultry and lamb dishes. After marriage we cooked together progressively more difficult dishes with him doing the meat, grilling and frying, and I did the "dough" and the same type of things I had before. After children we started cooking more simply. After discovering the cause of my frequent migraines was an evolving long list of chemicals and odd ingredients, I began getting back to cooking from basic ingredients, and found I could be well again. I also try to cooking from what I can get in season at the ever present fruit and vegetable stands.

Western National Park Lodges Cookbook

By Kathleen Bryant
Northland - 2007

This cookbook has gorgeous pictures of selected National Parks, restaurants and their foods. We have been visiting Western National Parks the last two years and bought this book on our last trip so we were able to eat some of the featured recipes. I gave this book to my husband for our anniversary so it could be a gift that keeps giving as I cook the recipes out of it and we remember our trips and plan the next ones. I highly recommend this for yourself or as a gift if you have been or intend to stay at any of the featured Western National Park Lodges.
