"Game is ultimately the most American ingredient, the only possible
food capable of establishing itself as a defining element in a true
American cuisine." So writes Rebecca Gray in the Preface of The New
Gray's Wild Game Cookbook, and for the next 61 menus and 180
individual recipes she gives us what amounts to a celebration of
wild game as the ultimate gourmet food. Here, in abundance, is the
joy and exhilaration of preparing exquisitely matched
accompaniments to beautifully prepared main dishes of venison, wild
fowl, upland birds and other choice meats brought to the table by
the North American hunter. Laid to rest, through anecdote, personal
experience and technical exposition, is any vestige of the
intimidation a cook might feel when faced with a just-bagged bird.
Extensively revised and updated from the original, The New Gray's
Wild Game Cookbook, in addition to separate, menu-filled chapters
on Venison, Water Fowl, Upland Birds and Mixed Bag (a collection of
menus for such diverse prizes as wild sheep, mountain goat, bear,
wild boar and rabbit), contains detailed and stylishly-written
chapters on Game Care (not the usual field-dressing and cutting
instructions, but a carefully-researched and wittily-presented
discussion of what matters most to the cook) and A Few Suggestions
(advice and opinion that respects the reader's own experience while
passing along nearly thirty years of absorbed interest in fine
preparation of tasteful wild game meals). The New Gray's Wild Game
Cookbook treats wild game in its truest and broadest context. Wild
game is that rarest of culinary ingredients: something that, quite
literally, money cannot buy. Rebecca Gray knows this, and every
recipe here celebrates it. So will anyone lucky enough to be served
its menus.
