Book Description
Alaska's Wild Gourmet is told through mouth-watering recipes and edge of your seat stories that begin on the darkest night of Sherri's soul with the suicide of her husband, Walt. In horror and in grief, she begins a nomadic journey around the world, mending the shattered pieces of her life, and birthing her culinary vision. Sherri Ewing-Rahmanop is a vibrating force of energy, tempered with purpose and love. Sherri's self- taught culinary journey began at the tender age of eight, and rose to a pinnacle of success when her extreme catering business was featured on National Geographic and The Outdoor Channel. Her family business served upscale meals, in pristine outdoor settings, throughout remote Alaska. Alaska's Wild Gourmet was born from her twenty years of journaling, and began as a cookbook to leave as a legacy to her children. During filming, tragedy imploded Sherri's world with the soul wounding suicide of her husband. She took her culinary vision on a healing journey around the world and finally in Mercy, her 24ft Mercedes RV. Her vision of connecting people through her food was birthed with her "HallelujahHollerBack" program where she asks guests to forage and donate ingredients for a coveted seat at her table. Sherri's journey is filled with incredible adventure and freedom today. She has found her own souls' expression with a unique soul-print unlike any other person. Today you can find Sherri in random RV resorts throughout America, teaching cooking courses, or donating her services to people that resonate with her soul food journey. She calls people in with her servant's heart and from the abundance that her life personifies. Sherri has opened her spirit to sharing her gifts, through speaking, to people who feel the same warrior calling. She speaks in churches, in support groups, at campfires, or any place that she happens to coddiwomple. www.AlaskasWildGourmet.com "I am on a conscious journey of adventure, basking in an amazing experience. I travel the world making intentional choices that align with my purpose. God has brought the spiritual harmony that was lacking in my life. My love shows itself in the colors that spiral as I paint the world from the worship of my art." I have written this book for one person, the one who has been called to be a warrior. This person has a calling on their life to rise above circumstances, no matter how soul wrenching. This human has a servant's heart and will be found in service to others. This person was born for such a time as now. This soul will be enlightened and knows their purpose here. If you think this book is about you, it is. www.AlaskasWildGourmet.com

Book Description
'Fishing Alaska's Wild' is a wilderness fishing adventure ebook. Each chapter is introduced with a photo taken at the time and location of the writing. A reference link is available for viewing additional photos of the various adventure excursions. Alaskan author Doug C. Myers is a former owner of a sport fishing lodge located in remote Southwest Alaska. Myers writes of his fishing/wildlife adventures on wild rivers of the Bering Sea and Bristol Bay Regions, Kodiak Island, Alaska Peninsula, and less secluded Kenai Peninsula. Detailed attention is given to fishing upper Kenai River reds (sockeye salmon) and Arctic grayling. To read 'Fishing Alaska's Wild' is to take a virtual trip to the fisherman's 'last frontier' - a timeless treasure experienced by a fortunate few. For some it provides the vicarious realization of an elusive dream. Episodes of catching Alaska salmon are included in several chapters - king (chinook), red (sockeye), chum (dog), pink (humpy), and silver (coho) salmon. A saga account of the salmon's migratory pattern and metamorphic change leading to instinct's spawning ritual is also included. Rainbow trout, Dolly Varden char, northern pike, herring, and halibut are also featured. Included also is time spent with Native friends at their subsistence fish camp on the shoreline of a designated 'wild and scenic' river in Southwest Alaska. From ancient privilege to wildlife observations and encounters to sport fishing highlights, the ebook emphasizes Alaska's greatest resource - the spirit of adventure. The book's contents includes: Katmai Wilderness Drama, Rainbow Reward, Ancient Privilege, Appointment With Kings, Migration Spectacle, Prospecting Silver, Treasured Island Jewel, Wilderness Extravaganza (A River Runs Red), Arctic Splendor, Final Cast Retrieve, and Extending The Journey. You will learn about sport fishing experiences that will more than wet your appetite for your own adventure, whether in Alaska or out your own back door.

Kings of the Yukon
Author: Adam Weymouth
Publisher: Little, Brown
ISBN: 0316396680
Category : Nature
Languages : en
Pages : 246
Book Description
A thrilling journey by canoe across Alaska, by critically acclaimed writer Adam Weymouth. The Yukon river is 2,000 miles long, the longest stretch of free-flowing river in the United States. In this riveting examination of one of the last wild places on earth, Adam Weymouth canoes along the river's length, from Canada's Yukon Territory, through Alaska, to the Bering Sea. The result is a book that shows how even the most remote wilderness is affected by the same forces reshaping the rest of the planet. Every summer, hundreds of thousands of king salmon migrate the distance of the Yukon to their spawning grounds, where they breed and die, in what is the longest salmon run in the world. For the communities that live along the river, salmon was once the lifeblood of the economy and local culture. But climate change and a globalized economy have fundamentally altered the balance between man and nature; the health and numbers of king salmon are in question, as is the fate of the communities that depend on them. Traveling along the Yukon as the salmon migrate, a four-month journey through untrammeled landscape, Adam Weymouth traces the fundamental interconnectedness of people and fish through searing and unforgettable portraits of the individuals he encounters. He offers a powerful, nuanced glimpse into indigenous cultures, and into our ever-complicated relationship with the natural world. Weaving in the rich history of salmon across time as well as the science behind their mysterious life cycle, Kings of the Yukon is extraordinary adventure and nature writing at its most urgent and poetic. "Kings of the Yukon succeeds as an adventure tale, a natural history and a work of art."-Wall Street Journal
