Moose #Recipes from the Renegade Chef of #Alaska #MondayBlogs

The Last of the Great Alaskan Recipes

The Renegade Chef is a friend of mine who collected recipes. Funny thing, I had been given three of these also by their authors when they found out I had a foodie blog. It was as if the forces that be wanted them to be kept alive through the ages. Moose is something I will definitely miss now that I am no longer in Alaska. If you have never had moose, you are missing out. Now all these recipes can be made with beef or bison or even venison. If you can find moose, do it!!! Now, enjoy and remember to #nomnom
