Ginger Bread Tracks & Pine Needle Pasta ─ A Savory Guide To Yellowstone National Park

Since Yellowstone National Park is staffed by park rangers who continually compare the geology of the world's largest volcano to baking a homemade cherry pie, why not write a cookbook that presents other such savory analogies? Informative and fun, in this book readers will learn how to brew homemade geysers and colorful hot springs, stir up a stew of ingredients only found at Yellowstone, or make the famous huckleberry ice cream generations of tourists have eaten on the porch of the Old Faithful Inn.
