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.

Scott Leysath's recipes would delight any gourmet chef. It's mind boggling to think he has done so many, all using wild game, and that each dish is downright delicious. The book's cover says they are "award winning recipes" and now, after trying several of them, I can understand why. They are real winners and I'm back in the kitchen with renewed enthusiasm and Scott's book in hand.

When the first edition of this book was put together I got a chance to sample some of the recipes prepared by Mr Leysath himself and they were fantastic. I now live in Oklahoma and a lot of my friends are avid hunters and they have his book as well and are enjoying the recipes. If you hunt or fish, get this book!

I love cooking and I love fine dining. I also have the pleasure of cooking wild game several times a year. In an effort to properly cook and present a wonderful meal made with wild game, I ran across a few of Scott Leysath's recipes on the internet [www.huntfishcook.com]. The first recipe I cooked of Scott's was for Black Pepper and Herb Goose Breast. I made this for our next door neighbor and his son, who is 12, from his first hunt. He was so proud to be presenting food for the dinner table. Everyone raved about the goose and said they had NEVER had anything so delicious before.

Since then I have tried many of the recipes on the HuntFishCook website. Impressing family, friends and neighbors with properly cook, wonderful tasting 'not gaming' wild game. I was delighted when I heard their was a cookbook. I purchased it immediately and am absolutely delighted! This book will not let you down. If you enjoy cooking, this book is a MUST HAVE in your kitchen. This book would make a wonderful gift for the avid hunter.

The recipes are not complicated and the ingredients are found in most pantries and frigerators. Never again will I resort to using a crockpot and a can of cream of mushroom soup to cover the taste of 'gamey' meat. These recipes are easy to follow and really bring out the wonderful taste of the meat. The way it is meant to be enjoyed.

This cookbook is simply brilliant!
