User Ratings and Reviews
5 Stars Excellent compilation of fish and game recipes
If you like fish and wild game dishes, this is the book for you. There are recipes from over 100 years of the publication “Sports Afield”. Every recipe that I have tried has been awesome(about 30). There is even a recipe for fruit bat, I’ll let someone else try that one.
5 Stars Eat Like A Wild Man – The Perfect Cook Book For a Hunter
This is the perfect gift for my younger brother who likes to hunt. He’s started to enjoy cooking for himself as well, what a great gift! And it has chapters for all the seasons!
5 Stars Features unusual and highly recommended dishes
In Eat Like A Wild Man: The Ultimate Game And Fish Cookbook, Rebecca Gray draws upon 110 years of “Sports Afield” magazine to compile an outstanding recipe collection for fish, fowl, and wildlife dining. From Venison Steak Paillard, Yearling Bear Roast, and Curried Grouse Breast, to Louisiana Oyster Soup, Malabar Curried Trout Soup, and Black Bass Mushroom Pie, Eat Like A Wild Man features unusual and highly recommended dishes that would grace any table, highlight any celebration, and please any palate.
5 Stars Love the book and would give it 10 stars!
P. J. O’Rourke one of my favorite, conservative authors has said Rebecca Gray is Martha Stewart with a shotgun. That alone made me want to buy the book. Then there is the books layout which is quality all the way. No cheap, slap together book.
Historically the information on aging, traditions for cooking, meticulous instruction and illustrations provided made the book well worth the price.
There are recipes for venison, bear, boar, duck, goose, pheasant, quail, partridge, grouse, woodcock, dove, rabbit, perch, shellfish, squirrel, iguana, frog, crow, trout, pike, bass, turkey, salmon, swordfish, catfish, wild rice, dandelion, watercress and rosehips and wild and domesticated herbs means that there will be more than a little for the authentic hunter, cooker and feaster of wild game.
Along with Stalking the Wild Asparagus by Euell Gibbons also available thru Amazon.com, there is no reason someone like myself, living here in the Sierras of California should ever have an excuse for going hungry.
This is a book that will appeal to those interested in the history of food, self sufficiency, wild game, as well as a great gift for the man or woman in your life who has an adventuresome streak.
You can also subscribe to Sports Afield via Amazon.com as well.
