Adirondack Appetite – 150 Recipes for Cabin, Camp & Beyond by Susi Gott Séguret

Whether you have a lake house, a cabin in the woods in the Adirondack Mountains, or are an armchair woodsman at heart, Adirondack Appetite – 150 Recipes for Cabin, Camp & Beyond by Susi Gott Séguret and published by Hatherleigh Press Ltd. will delight you with Suzi’s engaging storytelling style and her delicious and very different recipes. When was the last time you had anything with nettles? Or perhaps elderberries? The Adirondacks have great fishing, and there are wonderful recipes for using the fish you catch including Lake Bass, Rock Fish, and Trout, along with easy to make food for the trail, creative cocktails, snacks, and tasty desserts.

The cookbook opens with interesting background information on the Adirondacks and its people, then gets down to the recipes with chapters entitled Serious Starts, Outdoors & On the Trail, Back at the Cabin, Savory Sides, Cocktail Hour, Sweet Treats, and Fun & Games.

Each chapter has great recipes including the recipe for Elderberry Pancakes from the Serious Starts chapter. If you have never eaten elderberries, you are in for a treat. They look like miniature blueberries however the flavor profile is different. Also interesting from that same chapter is the recipe for Nettle Pancakes, where the nettles are foraged.

After a day of catching fish, the recipe for Lake Bass & Fennel will be especially helpful from the Outdoors & On the Trail chapter. If you love foraging for mushrooms in the Adirondacks, or “foraging” for them at the local farmer’s market, the recipe for Tagliatelle with Local Mushrooms from the Back at the Cabin chapter, is easy to make and delicious, and for the more ambitious cook, there is Rosemary Pork Tenderloin, Fried Chicken & Gravy, and much more to entice your palate.

The chapter, Savory Sides, has delicious soup and chowder recipes, a variety of salads, Baldy Baked Beans, Basic Quick Beer Bread, Geoff’s Camp Bread, and more. The chapter Cocktail Hour has inspired appetizers and noshes. From the chapter, Sweet Treats, a few of the tasty treats that caught my eye were Sawdust Pie, Peppermint Chocolate Chip Cookies, Strawberries & Cream with Lavender, and Huckleberry Fool.

Suzi has fun with the Fun & Games chapter where she includes inspired cocktail recipes including Adirondack Cocktail (Mountain Ash Cocktail), Dick’s Greyrock Mountain Elixir, Logger Lover, and the Suzerac, to name but a few. There are also delectable snack recipes to accompany the cocktails.

Suze writes, “This is my version (Suze being my favorite nickname) of the New Orleans Sazerac, replacing the Peychaud’s Bitters – which are a bit hard to come by unless you live in NOLA – with Suze, a gentian-steeped apéritif from the mountain peaks of France.”
