Last week, Christine from Cook the Story and I spoke with Nicole from Arctic Garden Studio about winter food in Alaska. During our chat Nicole pointed out that we had a 100 degree difference in weather. That was mind blowing to me–something I couldn’t fathim. And here I was complaining about our chilly 60 degree weather! I take getting fresh produce and meats for granted, and I’m glad we got to talk with Nicole. It was very eye-opening!

Watch our Google Hangout as Nicole explains how food is managed/consumed during the winter months in Alaska!

Here are a few recipes:
