This book is not only beautiful to look at but has exceptional recipies that are absolutely delicious! The illustrations by David McCall Johnston are truly an appreciation of art in the modern kitchen!

The Buffalo Cookbook was written "ahead of it's time" as food choices that were filled with high fat content seemed acceptable in the past. The low fat solution to eating red meat is a delightful change that teaches us how to maintain great taste while making wise choices.

This book is a very valuable resource! I would like to see it used as a reference in every medical office where maintaining good health is an issue. I treasure my copy!

Very outstanding work Ruth Mossok Johnston!

The Buffalo Cookbook is an amazing collection of recipes that pays tribute to a healthy alternative to red meat.Written ten years ago, ahead of its time, the recipes offer dozens of easily prepared dishes, many of which use the readily available ground buffalo meat. In addition to enjoying delicious food, the cook has an oppportunity to try new ingredients. Happily, a caloric chart is also included. Add to all that the gorgeously illustrated cover and tantalizing photographs and you have a cookbook for the ages.

I cannot disagree more with the previous reviewer. I've found this book to be a wonderful addition to my collection. I have made many of the recipes in the book and can attest to their excellent results. While some of the ingredients might be difficult to find in rural areas, any decent sized city with a well-stocked grocery store should have most everything listed in the book. We've especially enjoyed the Ziti tapenade-chevre, Pesto Pasta with grilled buffalo sausage and the Four roasted pepper, bean and shredded bison burrito grande (the only way I make burritos now).

The recipes require exotic and hard to locate ingredients. There is an ingredient list in the back of the book to order items but they are costly, no substitutes are listed. We have a half of Buffalo in our freezer and having had this book for over 12 months have yet to use a recipe from it. It is not a very useful cookbook.
