Eat Alberta First: A Year of Local Recipes from Where the Prairies Meet the Mountains by Karen Anderson

Equal parts cookbook and manifesto, this beautifully photographed collection is the ultimate guide to local eating in Alberta all through the year.

Eat Alberta First presents 90 tried and true recipes in celebration of Alberta’s farmers, ranchers, and food artisans. Alberta Food Tours founder and enthusiastic locavore Karen Anderson’s love of her province is enriched with the experience gained during her extensive global travels. Organized around uniquely Alberta seasons with mini workshops on sourdough, foraging, and canning, gorgeous food and landscape photography, and an Alberta food sourcing list, the book is designed to help the home cook build reliance on their skills and on the province’s food producers.

Karen Anderson is a Taste Canada, IPPY, and World Gourmand award-winning writer for A Spicy Touch and Food Artisans of Alberta. She founded Alberta Food Tours in 2006 after a 21-year nursing career. She lives in Calgary with her husband. Find her at savouritall.com or albertafoodtours.ca
