About the book:
This cookbook is a collaboration between Health Coach Winona Benson and photographer Tara Horton. Both are locals of South Central Alaska and have memories & experiences living in and around the farming community within the Matanuska-Susitna Borough. The joint venture of writing a cookbook grew from time spent together sharing stories of their youth and their favorite memories of gardening and harvesting in Alaska.
This book's healthy, delicious recipes highlight produce commonly grown in Alaska. Each recipe is accompanied by full-color photographs and step-by-step directions to share foods to nourish the body, soul, and mind.

Winona Benson writes with warmth and an evident passion for her Alaskan heritage. Her tone is inviting and down-to-earth, making the cookbook feel like a personal journey through her own kitchen and garden. She shares tips and stories from her own life in Alaska, making it clear that these recipes are not just about food, but about a lifestyle—one that values local sourcing, sustainability, and a close connection to nature.
The book is also highly accessible. The ingredients are simple and mostly easy to find, even outside of Alaska, and Benson provides ample substitutions where necessary. The instructions are clear and straightforward, making it easy for both beginners and seasoned home cooks to follow along.
