Default Wild Game Cook Book

Hey folks,

I was wondering if anyone could recommend a cook book specific to cooking wild game? It is for my wife and she does not want anything with butchering, but instead a focus on recipes.

She has asked for this for Christmas in anticipation of my new hunting career. Lots of info online, but she is a book reader and would like to kick back and turn real pages.

Thanks,

Matt

Northern Cookbook edited by Eleanor A. Ellis

You'll be ready for anything!

BOILED REINDEER OR CARIBOU HOOFS

Put the hoofs with skin still on them in a large pot. Cover with hot water and boil for a couple of hours. The skin peels off easily then. The muscles are soft and very good to eat. The toe nails also have some soft sweet meat inside them.

Thanks for all those suggestions so far!

I will try and check them out on Amazon... maybe end up choosing a couple. One more traditional and the other one more modern recipes.

Hi Matt. I purchased "The Wild Gourmet" back in the early 80's. 256 pages of recipes, marinades, sauces, etc. for anything from big game to squirrels, beavers, porcupines, etc. I'm done with it as my favourite recipes are all copied. It's yours if you want it. You can pick it up if in the Calgary area or I can mail it if it's more convenient.

Thanks! That would be great! Sounds like it covers a great deal of ground.

I will send you a PM.

I second the Hank Shaw books. Great explanations about all the cuts and recipes with common ingredients. Buck, Buck, Moose is my new favorite.
