Northern Hospitality – Promotion

Northern Hospitality with The Portland Hunt + Alpine Club: A Celebration of Cocktails, Cooking, and Coming Together by Andrew and Briana Volk is the debut cookbook from the owners of the The Portland Hunt + Alpine Club. The Volk’s restaurant is a two-time James Beard semi-finalist in the Outstanding Bar Program category. This couple takes care of their guests as if they were welcoming them into their own home – making them comfortable with cocktails that are as carefully crafted as the main entrees themselves.  

Northern Hospitality shares Andrew’s cocktail recipes and lessons on batching cocktails, warm drinks, and Mezcal as well as recipes that are inspired by Portland and Scandinavia.  Bar snacks include green chile popcorn, cured venison, and house-made pretzels and Smorgasbords feature smoked fish, cheese, and house-made cider pickles. Classic to lesser known plates range from Swedish meatballs with spaetzle and nutmeg cream to nori hashbrowns and trout roe.

Features on ice fishing, shucking oysters, how to build a bonfire, and après-ski provide an experience as unique as the club itself. Through beautiful photography, cocktails and recipes, you too can celebrate the seasons the way those in the north do: with warmth, fun, and a sense of wonder.
