The History of Planking
The Pacific Northwest has long been rightly famous for the technique of roasting fish and game on wood planks. Early explorers extolled the aroma and flavor of this technique.
Native Americans pioneered the art of roasting fish and game on wood planks. Early accounts praise the aroma and flavors imparted by this cookery.
As European settlers inhabited the region, they adopted the method. Over time, they added traditional seasonings and vegetables to the tasty mix.
Later, world-renowned chefs added Epicurean refinements for millions to enjoy. The result of this cultural mingling is one of the most delicious and wonderfully simple cooking methods in the world. And one you can easily master at home.
