Middle Fork Magic

For many years, author Gayle Selisch and her husband ran Middle Fork Rafting Tours, one of the United States premier whitewater rafting trips. While out on these tours, they used these wonderful recipes, trying, testing, and enjoying them on Idahos Middle Fork of the Salmon River.

These recipes highlight the use of the aluminum Dutch oven and are designed to be made primarily over charcoal, but they can also be cooked at home, in any oven. The recipes include breakfast dishes, unique lunch salads, appetizers, dinner entrees, side dishes, and desserts. River history and humor are incorporated among the recipes to add to its charm. From yummy pecan sticky buns to warm beans with herbs, from tomatoes and goat cheese to peppered pork tenderloin with blueberry sauce, there are wonderful, tasty dishes for everyone.

The proceeds from the sale of this cookbook will benefit two important nonprofit organizations. The first beneficiary is the Swiftsure Therapeutic Equestrian Center located in Bellevue, Idaho. Therapeutic riding improves the lives of disabled persons. The second beneficiary is the Bald Mountain Rescue Fund, an Idaho organization that assists residents in times of catastrophic injuries.
