Moving 2,500 miles north of my small hometown in Oregon, brought on a big change in what I ate. Although I grew up fishing and deer hunting, it wasn’t until I married my husband, did things get really interesting on the culinary front. Just two days after our honeymoon, Scott and I moved to a tiny village on the Arctic Ocean to teach school. No restaurants, no grocery store, and no Amazon.com, we learned how to subsist off of local delicacies. From fresh muktuk to pickled muktau to sea ducks, caribou, ptarmigan and more, there wasn’t anything we wouldn’t try. Find out how cooking these unique foods helped shape my cooking skills and expanded my palate.
