Though relatively new for the UK scenario, Rocky Mountain Cuisine has started enticing visitors to Alberta's cosmopolitan cities and mountain resorts. Travel Alberta has announced the visit of Alistair Barnes, the Executive chef of Rocky Mountain Resorts and the champion of Rocky Mountain Cuisine between 8th and 11th March 2008 for promoting his new book Simple Treasures.

Notably, Alistair has gained a commendable expertise over the past two decades in developing recipes that highlight the best of Western Canadian cuisine. The Rocky Mountain Cuisine exclusively uses fresh, local produce to prepare dishes featuring an authentic taste of the Rockies. The select range of regional produce procured for cooking includes fruits, vegetables, grains, fish and meat of buffalo and elk.

Chef Alistair Barnes personally supervises every kitchen of the Canadian Rocky Mountain Resort (CRMR) working with the Head Chefs functioning from every property to cook dishes that will inspire home cooks. In fact, beautifully rendered with colourful photographs, the cookbook of Canadian Rocky Mountain Resorts is a fascinating biography of Canadian Rocky Mountain Resorts, which explores the history, atmosphere and ambience of each property.

Each of the CRMR property is a meticulously restored heritage building, imbued with its unique charm added with modern luxuries boasting a perfect blend of the traditional and the modern.

Simple Treasures can be purchased online by visiting www.amazon.com.
