Scott Leysath (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: June 15, 2001

New! Now with 270 award winning recipes. Scott Leysath has served as official chef for Ducks Unlimited, the California Waterfowl Association, and other state waterfowl associations. He currently has more than one TV show including a very popular show titled, "HuntFishCook." (For current shows check with sportingchef.com.) His reputation is world-wide. This softcover version of his very popular hardbound edition has been updated with many new recipes. One of his favorite quotes is, "The nutritional benefits of wild and farm-raised game are superior to commercialy-raised beef, pork and poultry. Game is usually seven to ten times lower in fat and cholesterol than comparable cuts of domestic meats. Wild game is truly free ranging and devoid of antibiotics, steroids and hormones. Properly prepared game dishes will tantalize the sense with rich, intense flavors not found in even the finest quality beef steaks and roasts."

This review is from: The Sporting Chef's Favorite Wild Game Recipes (Hardcover)

I recently received a copy of The Sporting Chef's Favorite WildGame Recipes and it is a great collection of recipes for all types ofwild game. Published by Arrowhead Classics, Inc., Leysath's book brings a new flavor to wild game. I have personally met Scott and can attest to the great taste his recipes bring to wild game. This is a "must buy" for anyone who hunts or just likes to eat wild game. We can enjoy the healthy benefits of wild game (lower in fat and free of hormones, etc) and also enjoy the flavor. Check it out!

The recipes in this books are creative but simple. I recently took it along on a four day fishing trip to Lake Fontana where I cooked a "Brandy-Peppercorn" venison steak that everyone said was the best venison they had ever eaten! This is a book no outdoor sportsman should be without.

I own the first hardbound edition of this book. This softcover edition is incredible. Much bigger with more great recipes. I can't believe it. Scott Leysath has done an incredible piece of work here. Wonderful.
