I come from a family of hunters, so we eat different wild game meats on a regular basis. Sometimes, I get tired of cooking it in the same old way, which is why this cookbook was a total surprise! The recipes are fairly simple and the photos were beautiful. It made me think “I could make this!” I tried the pinwheels and tater tot casserole and the family approved!

I also love how the book was so down to earth, there wasn’t a flowery story about why the author chose that recipe. They are obviously tried and true recipes that I will incorporate into our family meals. I ordered the hardcover version, so I can reference it anytime!

A huge thank you to NetGalley, Quarto Publishing Group – Harvard Common Press, and Jennifer Danella for the opportunity to read this ARC. All opinions are my own.

Thank you for this electronic copy of this cookbook! As a hunting family, I am always seeking out new and delicious recipes for cooking wild game.

Firstly, I would say that this book is also absolutely one for the non-hunter but who likes game (me). Most of the meat is easily available in the UK although perhaps not wild turkey! We can get it in some supermarkets but I have a local estate who shoot, butcher and sell on-site wild red/roe deer, wild boar and pheasants. Bunnies come from local farmers. The recipes are straightforward, honest cooking and that should appeal to anyone; ingredients easily found and methods straightforward; the illustrations are fabulous. The recipes cover soups, mains and more with a range of "cuisines" too - Italian, Mexican, Irish-based for a start - and use grilling, slow cooking and stir frying etc techniques. Something for everyone.. The philly cheesesteak stuffed shells has become a favourite and who can resist the chilli venison mac'n'cheese? I'm looking forward to trying the spinach and mushroom venison pinwheels. Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for an advance copy.

First off, the pictures within this cookbook are so beautiful! Applause for whoever chose those ones! They should get a raise.

Anyway, on to the actual cookbook itself. I'm DYING to try all of these recipes. As avid hunters, my boyfriend and I get tired of the same recipes over and over and this cookbook is a VERY welcome addition to our house. The directions are easy to read and quick to the point. There's no lengthy story about why Jennifer chose to include that recipe (as you find on any of these recipe websites, you know.) and there are many different types of wild game meat included such as venison, turkey, wild hog, pheasant, rabbit, etc.

Thank you NetGalley and Jennifer Danella for the opportunity to read this book in exchange for an honest review.

I’ve preordered a physical copy of this book as I need it in my life! My husband brings game home and I’m often stuff for ideas on what to do with it but this has so many mouth watering recipes I can’t wait to try! Brilliant book!
