Your Lewis & Clark Library is pleased to welcome Chef Barrie Boulds and Montana author Jean Petersen for discussion of their new cookbook, The Big Sky Bounty Cookbook: Local Ingredients and Rustic Recipes on November 15th at 6:30PM.

From mountain streams in the west to rolling prairies in the east, Montana’s habitats and natural resources offer an abundance of culinary possibilities. The mountains provide the necessities for a delightful elk tenderloin with huckleberry demi-glace, while the prairie contributes to rattlesnake cakes with roasted red pepper remoulade. And gardens and farms statewide produce the makings of Aunt Lois O’Toole’s rhubarb strawberry pie.

Chef Barrie Boulds and author Jean Petersen present locally sourced epicurean dishes that exude Montanan charm. Historical context enhances seventy-five easy yet sophisticated recipes celebrating unique flavors and heritage—with forewords from Chef Eric Trager and Western Ag Reporter editor Linda Grosskopf.

Published in June of 2018 by Arcadia Publishing, copies of the book will be available for purchase at the event.
