"The reindeer herds of Alaska, introduced by Government agencies to supply food for the natives, have now developed until their keeping is looked upon as the most, practical agricultural industry of Alaska … These herds now furnish not only a large proportion of Alaska's meat supply but also increasing quantities for export. Marketed first in the Northwest, then on transcontinental trains and in metropolitan hotels, now, under improved refrigeration facilities and methods of handling, reindeer meat is being more generally distributed, and housewives are asking for information as to its use. In order to advise them intelligently, studies on the best methods of preparation have been undertaken by the Bureau of Home Economics, and the results are here given in the form of recipes." ~Excerpted from the introduction.
