Editorial Reviews

From Publishers Weekly

More than just a collection of recipes, the Casadas' latest (following the couple's The Complete Venison Cookbook) will make a welcome resource for hunting season. While they offer more than 200 recipes for just about anything a hunter could bag, the Casadas also include ways to stretch dishes like stew, clean and dress animals in the field and tenderize tougher game like rabbits and squirrels. Yes, squirrels: the Casadas offer a number of options for the animal, ranging from Fried Squirrel to Squirrel and Biscuit-Style Dumplings. Fortunately, the book leans heavily on more popular game such as venison and waterfowl, and provides a whole section on wild turkey. There are multitudes of recipes for a number of venison cuts, ranging from ubiquitous Venison Jerky to Venison Croquettes and Honey Mustard Steaks with Onion Mushroom Wine Sauce, ensuring hunters and their families get the most out of their bounty before tiring of it. Most recipes employ only a handful of readily available ingredients, and an emphasis on canned goods means many dishes can be prepared at a campsite. Even the meat-averse will be pleased, as dishes like Orzo with Hazelnuts, Black Walnut Pound Cake and Cold Blackberry Soup fill out a final section of dishes "from nature's garden."
