Editorial Reviews:

Great recipes from a celebrated resort.

Whitewater Resort in the Canadian Rockies is renowned for its spectacular scenery, deep snow and Fresh Tracks Café. Despite constant pleading from customers, recipes for dishes made famous there were as unattainable as snowflakes in July. Even the café staff was sworn to secrecy. Now, Whitewater Cooks opens the kitchen doors.

With this eagerly anticipated book, home cooks can re-create chef Shelley Adams' signature dishes. Readers will enjoy over 70 recipes from the café's selection of top sellers -- from warming soups to desserts -- indulging in such culinary favorites as:

Whiskey-smoked salmon chowder
Ymir curry bowl
Whitewater veggie burger
Runaway train wrap
Peppercorn, brandy and gorgonzola sauce
Crackle top snowy mountain cookies
Whitewater brownies.

Whitewater Resort is internationally recognized for its alpine scenery and the fine quality of its food. Now home cooks everywhere can share its most celebrated dishes.

Summary: Wonderful Book
Comment: I tried to order this from Amazon but then received a notice that the book would be available in 1-3 months, not 1-3 weeks as listed here. Having already waited 6 weeks for the book to arrive I ended up ordering directly from the publisher (Whitecap Books) and it arrived within 1 week!!! The price was higher but I would recommend this book at any price. There are some wonderful great recipes. Get a copy while you still can.

Comment: Some of my favourite recipes from the amazing whitewater cafe. They bring back great memories of growing up in the Koots, and my winter at the Whitewater ski hill...
And it's great food, with tastes coming together from around the world.

Summary: Terrific Cookbook
Comment: I love this cookbook. The pictures alone are wonderful, and the recipes themselves turn out both beautiful to look at and delicious to eat. I've made about ten of the recipes. So far, our favorites are the black bean vegetarian chili, the corn bread, and the white chocolate-hazelnut brownies. The only criticism I have is that the book is poorly edited. Some of the ingredients are not specific enough (for example, "1 tsp mint"; dried? extract? fresh chopped?) and the instructions are sometimes incomplete. Still, by guessing as best I could, the recipes turned out well. I hope that the next edition of this book is more complete and specific.

Summary: Great cookbook full of fresh ideas
Comment: Over the years I've had the pleasure of visiting the Whitewater Resort and the Fresh Tracks Cafe many times and neither I, nor anyone in my family has ever been disappointed in the food that we've had - we've always enjoyed it. So when I found out that they had a cookbook, I immediately bought it - and again, I have not been disappointed.

It's full of great recipes (I've tried several and LOVE them all) that are fresh, easy and yummy. The recipes tend to be on the healthy side (which I like) but are not lacking in flavor in anyway - they are some of the most flavorful I've had. They are also very simple and most could be made quickly on a weeknight. This is a definite keeper for us!
