Katie Mitzel is a leader in backcountry gourmet cooking, feeding famished travellers who have journeyed hundreds of miles to experience life in a backcountry lodge. Her dishes are full of unexpected flavours and mouth-watering aromas, but are accessible enough to create at home, using ingredients readily available from the supermarket. In Rocky Mountain Cooking, Katie shares her favourite lodge recipes, many taking inspiration from the colours and textures of mountains, glacial lakes, wildflowers, and starry nights. Cooking in the backcountry has brought Katie unique moments of inspiration and gratitude, like carefully adjusting ingredients when baking at altitude, and appreciating the simple benefits of water and heat after manually hauling water by the gallon and cooking without power. As a result, her food is simple, fulfilling, hearty, and comforting. Filled with breath-taking landscape photography and profiles of select beloved lodges, Rocky Mountain Cooking brings the natural bliss of backcountry living into your daily life, no matter where you live.

KATIE MITZEL is the author of the bestselling Skoki Cookbook. She has cooked in many backcountry lodges, including Skoki Lodge, Battle Abbey, Mistaya, Assiniboine, and Shadow Lake Lodge, among others, and has developed a reputation as an innovative, creative, and enthusiastic backcountry lodge chef. When not at a lodge, Katie lives with her family in British Columbia, at the doorstep of one of North America's greatest outdoor playgrounds.
