Out here in the Northwest we are blessed with beautiful mountain views and in the winter, that means ski time! There is a great new book for all you skiers out there that will get you geared up for this snowy season. The Ski Country Cookbook by Barbara Scott-Goodman, Chronicle Books, has great recipes for before you head out, for when you get back inside and fueling up in-between runs! Hearty breakfast dishes like Smoked Chicken and Apple Hash or Homemade Granola and tasty comfort food like Wine Braised Short Ribs and Macaroni and Cheese will just hit the spot. Whether your “thing” is hitting the slopes, building forts and snowball fights, or staying inside by the fire, these recipes will be sure to keep you warm when it’s cold outside.

The perfect holiday gift for your favorite ski bunny!
