2015 Calendar by Marion Owen Photography Shares Recipes, Tips, and Bathing Bear

(PRWEB) September 25, 2014

Veteran photographer Marion Owen of Kodiak, Alaska is pleased to announce the publication of her 2015 wall calendar, “Flavors of Kodiak: Photos, Recipes and Inspirations from Alaska’s Emerald Isle,” a fusion of three, universally popular hobbies: Cooking, photography and gardening. The 2015 edition follows on the heels of last year’s calendar, which sold out to fans from Spain to Seattle.

It began when Owen, a teacher, master gardener and chef, received requests to publish a cookbook, a gardening manual or a coffee table book of photography. “I had file folders stuffed with ideas, but I needed a ‘mixing bowl’ for combining all the ingredients.”

The 28-page calendar was the solution for Owen and many others. “Living far from family, I am always looking for unique ways to share Alaska’s beauty,” says Kate Alexander, resident of Anchorage, the state’s largest city. “For me, it’s the perfect gift. Amazing photos and recipes that are simple, tasty and good for you. The dates with quirky holidays give everyone more reasons to smile. Before mailing the calendars though, I make sure to write my birthday in the correct square!”

The quirky holidays can be zany, little-known events or new ones that Owen invented. May 1st is ‘Celebrate the Return of Puffins to Kodiak Day’ and September 21st is ‘Take Your Camera for a Walk Day.’ “It gives people an excuse to get outside and enjoy nature,” says Owen, a well-published, award-winning photographer.

“Kodiak Island is a bucket list destination,” says Chastity McCarthy, Executive Director of Discover Kodiak. “We’re seeing a steady increase in tourism, especially families and adventure travelers coming from all corners of the world to take in The Emerald Isle’s beauty and authentic wilderness feel.”

A sample of that beauty adorns the calendar’s cover: a head-and-shoulders portrait of a stocky brown bear sitting in a pool of water, as if relaxing in a Turkish bath. The remaining pages are a charming mix: January features two surfers, bathed in golden winter light facing a tall stack of storm waves. And there’s a recipe for Oregano Ginger Tea which, Owen says, is the cure for the common cold. “At the very least, you’ll feel better.”

As for recipes, Owen included Mini Smoked Salmon Pies and a surprising list of ingredients for Smoothies You Really Want to Drink. In 2014, she published her Kodiak Island Granola recipe. “It’s a crowd-pleaser. Many of our B&B guests ask for a baggie of it for snacking on the trip home.”

Marion Owen lives in Kodiak, Alaska as a fine art photographer, instructor and columnist specializing in extreme macro work (i.e. snowflakes), landscapes, nightscapes, and publishing. Her work is shown in galleries, businesses and private homes and has been engaged by National Geographic Traveler, Patagonia, Audubon, and Better Homes and Gardens, to name a few. Co-author of the New York Times bestseller, Chicken Soup for the Gardener’s Soul, she and her husband operate Galley Gourmet dinner cruises and wildlife tours, and the Cliff House B&B.

Individuals interested in purchasing “Flavors of Kodiak” can contact Marion Owen directly or online at http://www.MarionOwenPhotography.com. The calendar retails for $ 15 plus shipping.

Savory Step By Step Recipes – Salad Nicoise

According to food experts, a “salad” is a ready-to-eat dish that’s made of varied ingredients in a wet of once-wet base and is served chilled or at moderate temperature. Most people today use the word salad to describe savory, light and leafy vegetable dishes, which are often served with a dressing or sauce. However, the salad category additionally includes dishes made with ingredients like meats, seafood, grains, fruits, and sweets. And while some salads use raw vegetables, others use cooked ingredients. Here’s how to prepare one yummy and easy step by step recipe, salad Nicoise.

Create The Dressing

To make the dressing, the first thing you should do is tip the olives, garlic and anchovies into a large mortar, and mash them using a pestle until you create a very rough paste. Scrape into a bowl, and stir with lemon juice, olive oil and vinegar (if you prefer to), and set aside.

Cook The Potatoes

The next step would be to cook the potatoes in boiling water for at least fifteen minutes until they become tender. Then set aside. Next, cook the beans in boiling water (with salt) for at least four to five minutes, until they become tender and Crunchy. Next, drain and tip into iced water, and drain again and set aside. Boil the potatoes in a small pan. Next, cut the potatoes in halves and heat two tablespoons of oil in a non-stick frying pan. Place the potatoes (cut side down) in the pan, and sizzle them for at least four minutes until they become crisp and golden.

Fry the Tomatoes

Next, toss the potatoes in the pan, and brown to brown all sides, and turn up the heat, and now add the tomatoes. Make sure you fry the tomatoes for around a minute until they start to blister. Then season them afterwards. Pour at least one tablespoonful of balsamic vinegar, and turn off the heat and scatter the basil over.

Cook the Tuna

To cook the tuna, place a non-stick frying pan over high heat, and turn the heat down to medium, and start adding one tablespoonful of oil. Generously season the tuna, and sear for at least four minutes, and leave it until it turns brown. Turn over the tuna, and continue cooking for four minutes more. This will give the tuna a rare look and feel. Set the tuna aside and let it cool off for 2 minutes.

To serve the salad Nicoise, stir the remaining vinegar and oil, along with the lemon juice into a small bowl and add in the lettuce wedges. Next, place a spoonful of olive dressing into two serving bowls, and arrange the potatoes and tomatoes over, as well as put a pile of beans on top. Next, slice the tuna in half and place each half on top of the beans. And then wedge the lettuce around the outside, halve the eggs, and place them between the lettuces. Place a small spoonful of olive dressing on each egg, as well.

According to most food experts, most salad are served cold, but some especially the South German potato salad, are warm when served. Have fun serving this truly tasty Salad Nicoise and learn more step by step recipes at ( http://www.olgasflavorfactory.com/ ).
