Some years later my wife and I were offered a great opportunity to operate and manage a remote fly in hunting and fishing camp on the English River in Northern Ontario, Canada, where we still managed enough time to meet and talk to other people who worked and lived on the river, trappers, miners, loggers and native fishing guides who shard with us some of their great old recipes. But it wasn't until many years later after both my parents passed on that I discovered the greatest treasures of all, their old recipes. We have all but forgotten the great smells and tastes that came from those kitchens, but with a little time and effort your whole family can enjoy these safe and great-tasting foods again.
