Comprised of some three hundred recipes ranging from the preparation of fowl and fish to the cooking of rabbit and venison, "The Everything Wild Game Cookbook" truly lives up to it title! Karen Eagle (an experienced cookbook author, member of Les Dames d'Escoffier, as well as the International Association of Culinary Professions), draws upon her expertise as a cooking teacher and food writer to compile "kitchen cook friendly" recipes for dishes that will please even the most gourmet palate and satisfy any appetite. From sauces and marinades to rubs, brines, and relishes, "The Everything Wild Game Cookbook" is a complete culinary reference and covers fish (both saltwater and fresh water), big game (elk deer, antelope, caribou and moose, wild pig, and boar, javelina, buffalo, bear, mountain goat and sheep), small game (rabbit, hare, squirrel, raccoon, woodchuck, beaver, opossum and muskrat), game birds (pheasant, quail, partridge, prairie chicken, ptarmigan, grouse, sage hen, woodcok, snipe, rail, piegeons, dove, wild duck, wild goose, wild turkey), as well as "trimmings" and desserts. Enhanced with an appendices of thematically appropriate websites, "The Everything Wild Game Cookbook" is a welcome and recommended addition to the cookbook collections of hunters and anglers wanting to feast upon the bounty of their efforts.

Cons: A lot of the recipes in the book have ingredients that are hard to find, there aren't too many images of the dishes being prepared, and the recipes are a bit complex to follow.

Pros: There's a brief introduction on preparing the meat while on the field and there are tips on marinating the meat and preparing other sides.

This book was given as a present to my son at Christmas and he immediately started sharing "words of wisdom" with us all. Very interesting recipes, easy to follow, excellent presentation as to "how to" and would recommend for a person's "go to" cookbook library.

I bought this cookbook for my husband, it includes many recipes with meats like bear, deer, quail, etc. But some of the ingredients are not easy to find or ones that you always have on hand.

I purchased this book for my husband for Christmas. A friend of ours had received one similar for his birthday and it's probably the only present he doesn't know he's getting. It's just what I was looking for. Thanks.
