In personal stories, evocative photographs, and recipes that are
purposefully simple and designed for the home cook, Chef Kirsten
Dixon and her family share fresh, rustic cuisine offering
friendship, communicating passion, and bringing comfort and delight
to the table. This recipe collection represents the cuisine at
Tutka Bay Lodge, the Dixons’ seaside lodge nestled within the
curve of a quiet cove at the entrance to Tutka Bay, a deep
seven-mile fjord in Kachemak Bay, Alaska. In oldworld tradition,
Kirsten Dixon’s family works together to craft a lifestyle that
centers around three themes: the natural world, their culinary
lives, and living a life of adventure. The cookbook is organized by
sections for breakfast, lunch, appetizers, dinner, and the Cooking
School at Tutka Bay. Among the one hundred recipes are Brioche
Doughnuts with Cider Black Currant Marmalade, Hot-Smoked Salmon
Croquettes, Grilled Oysters with Salmon Bacon and Pernod, Braised
Short Rib Ravioli, and Wild Berry Chocolate Shortcake. “Seafood
is the star of our cuisine here, as it should be. We certainly
serve our share of ocean-caught salmon throughout the entire summer
season. Halibut, cod, rockfish, shrimp, and crab also are served
nearly daily. We are never too far from the garden in our cooking
and many of our recipes include fresh-picked herbs or vegetables
that grow well in Alaska. In addition, the wild berries, herbs,
mushrooms, and sea vegetables inspire us to remember where on the
Earth we live and how lucky we are,” Kirsten says.
