The Game Cookbook

Product Information

Its incredibly informative in butchering and other prep that you might not see in other cookbooks. I definitely learned some new things reading this. Ditto for meat - I had no idea sea cucumber could be good eating! Made the fried smelt. I had never had smelt of any kind before, but these came out delightfully crispy. Made a simple sriracha-mayo dip for them. Made the salt-crusted whole fish with a nearly 3-pound red snapper. Had to cook it a few more minutes due to the size. Added some ground sweet orange peel to the salt with the other spices. This recipe wasn't too different from other salt domes we've tried in the past, but the addition of smashed garlic to the interior and spices to the dome itself made a noticeable difference in flavor. Fish turned out exceptionally light, flavorful, and moist. We served it with roasted vegetables. Would do again. It’s an incredibly healthy source of food and much leaner than farmed meats, due to the natural diets of the animals and their active lifestyles. There’s no intensive farming and as game is mostly locally sourced, its carbon footprint is relatively small, with very few miles from ‘nature to plate’.

Today it's all about cookbooks. More specifically: it's about cookbooks themed around games, which are all the rage these days. Do you have one? Maybe you've got the Destiny cookbook, or perhaps you've got the Fallout cookbook. The Final Fantasy 14 cookbook? Or maybe you're saving yourself for the Halo cookbook in August. That also made the book hard to review, since I couldn't make 5-7 dishes from it in a week or two. I'm going to work my way through it as best I can over the next few months, updating as I go: I was really, really impressed with this cookbook. Like, more than I thought I could ever be impressed by a cook book.
