| Native Americans perfected the art of roasting fish and game on wood planks and early accounts praise the aroma and flavors that resulted. With wood heat from the oven gradually expands wood fibers and slowly releases oils minerals sugars and water - like herbs different woods impart different flavors. Cedar imparts a sweet and smoky flavor. The plank does not give off this heat quickly so foods cook gently and keep their moistness - ideal for seafood and vegetables! European settlers built on the basic Native American tradition while expanding the culinary repertoire to include seasonings and vegetables. More recently world-renowned chefs have added epicurean refinements and popularized this method. Now you can enjoy the wonders of plank cooking in your own home.
