RP133: Kirsten Dixon of WinterLake Lodge

ReMARKable Palate #133: Kirsten Dixon of WinterLake Lodge

This week, I speak with Kirsten Dixon, chef and co-owner of the WinterLake Lodge in the Alaska Wilderness, where I had the pleasure of spending a week last month. Despite the remote location, Kirsten and her husband Carl provide a calming, welcoming atmosphere, and create some amazing meals for their guests, including the chunkiest, tastiest cookies I’ve had in a long time! Kirsten’s recipes can be found in 2 cookbooks, with a third on the way. We hear about her unique story and vision of hospitality on today’s show.

This week, I pay a visit to a unique chocolate shop and art gallery in Anchorage Alaska, the Modern Dwellers Chocolate Lounge. I speak with Martha Brigham and Zoe Oakley, who have created a homey atmosphere for the enjoyment of some unusual chocolates featuring quizzical local flavors of Alaska, with truffles that incorporate smoked salmon, wild blueberries, candied ginger, nori and even small dried anchovies!

Photos from the WinterLake Lodge, Alaska

I'm just home from the trip of a lifetime, 3 days spent in the middle of the Alaska wilderness at Carl and Kirsten Dixon's WinterLake Lodge, which is only accessible by skiplane in the winter, and seaplane or helicopter in the summer. They are wonderful hosts, offering great hospitality. I'll have both audio and video shows in the coming weeks from the trip, both in the kitchen and outdoors snowmachining and dog sledding.
