To address the foregoing predicament, "Passion to Plate" offers a foolproof solution. This cookbook contains every tool an individual needs to succeed at cooking: serving sizes, caloric intake, simple and accessible ingredients, comprehensible directions, handpicked alcohol pairings, recommended prayers, faith prompts, and corresponding Bible passages, all while accomplishing three specific goals: to honor one's passion for the outdoors, to encourage conversations about faith, and to build genuine confidence in the kitchen.

About the Author
Kaylynn A. Johnson is originally from a small suburb south of the Twin Cities. While working as a busy professional, Johnson longed to follow her passion for food and writing. Johnson's family consists of generational outdoorsmen who have a history of hunting elk, caribou, deer, turkey, boar, and fishing for both freshwater and ocean fish. On numerous occasions, Johnson found herself in the exact scenario that this cookbook seeks to address. After returning from a fishing trip in Valdez, Alaska, Johnson picked up a pen and began writing Passion to Plate. Inspired by her closest companions' traditional family dishes, she started taking these flavorful recipes and incorporating wild game and fish.

In addition to hunting and fishing, Johnson and her family are faithful followers of Jesus. Throughout her lifetime, Johnson has witnessed the incredible influence that God and a freshly prepared meal can have on others and how together they create lifelong community. There are countless individuals in this world searching for an introduction to Christ, but they are not sure where to start. Johnson takes what she has learned at her church and finds a new, creative avenue to encourage conversations about faith. This cookbook is that starting point.
