So much has happened to me since the release of Bear Cookin'. The book's promotion allowed me to meet Bears throughout America and from aound the world, and I began to share the food
I love with a new family. As my Bear Family grew, so did my appreciation and understanding of Bear eating habits. This book is a direct result of that. Somehow, the concept of "food and family" never seems to leave me, it simply reinvents itself.
