Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com Review

This guy's not kidding! Well, he is kidding, but he's serious, too. Buck Peterson takes a generally disgusting subject and makes it hilariously funny. And edible... With a good sense of humor and a strong stomach, you will find this book entertaining and thought-provoking, but you might want to keep it in another room when you have friends over for dinner.

About the Author

BUCK PETERSON is the author of 10 books on the great outdoors, including the best-selling ORIGINAL ROADKILL COOKBOOK. He roosts in an old-growth tree farm just outside of Seattle, Washington.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very Humorous For The Avid Hunter January 18, 2007
Format:Paperback
We had purchased this book prior for a friend for Christmas. My sons have turned into avid hunters. I thought they would enjoy receiving this for Christmas. It is a humorous book about (of course) Road Kill. This would also be a great book for someone who has just started driving and, like my children, had deer accidents. It gives exact details how to hit them with your vehicle to save you the trouble of loading them. Like it says "No wonder Game Wardens Children are the best fed in the school." Hope you enjoy as much as the people we have given to.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Flat-Out Good Read March 16, 2003

Format:Paperback
A very cute parody of over-serious recipe books. The
illustrations are the tip-off.

5.0 out of 5 stars Road Kill Cookbook March 24, 2011
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
If you live in the country, this is a fun book to have on your cookbook shelf. Or just casually have it laying around the kitchen counter, when the dinner guests arrive.

4.0 out of 5 stars The Original Road Kill Cookbook September 10, 2007
Format:Paperback
As an avid hunter and cook I found this book particularly amusing from start to finish. Buck does a great job writing and illustrating and I keep it out when entertaining, with dogeared pages, so that my guests can see the recipes I am using. Makes for some lively conversations.

4.0 out of 5 stars Different than expected June 4, 2013

This book is written in a different format than most cookbooks. It looks interesting and as soon as I get the opportunity I'll break it out and give it a whirl.

This gift is perfect for a friend of mine and is hilarious. It is not a long book but has some witty and comical passages. A great little gag gift

5.0 out of 5 stars Fire up the grill Hon! April 20, 2013
By Electra
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
This book is hillarious! A must for anyone who drives the highways and byways in a rural or city area. I thought at first that my husband or father-in-law had written this book. Then I realized that I had not eaten any of these foods,since according to them I am a kill joy and won't let them scrape dead carcasses from the road and bring home. I guess they'll just have to figure out how to use these recipes for freshly killed and field dressed hunted creatures.

Now if I could just get a how to freeze dry your husband's hunted meals................

This is a great hostess gift. What could be funnier? As usual, Buck Peterson is over the top. I loved it

2.0 out of 5 stars Less than expected. I'd hoped for more.
The menu from the Roadkill Cafe was truly clever and humorous. The book wasn't. My expectations were not met as I'd hoped.

1.0 out of 5 stars Don't bother....
The "author" tries to entertain but offers only a boring and sophomoric writing style that masquerades as redneck humor. The publication is a waste of time and money.
