Veteran cookbook authors Jim and Ann Casada share 400 field- and
kitchen-tested recipes that span the spectrum of venison cookery.
From traditional favorites to gourmet and ethnic specialties, this
is a complete cookbook with recipes for choice cuts and ground
venison, soups and stews, sausages and jerky, meatballs and chilis,
and recipes for slow cooker, casserole, and grill. Healthier and
more natural than overly processed beef, venison is the low-fat,
low-cholesterol, high-protein option, and the Casadas have focused
on providing health-smart recipes. They also include information on
the best spices, processing equipment, and cutlery. Appetizers,
full meals, old-fashioned favorites, and popular choices for
today’s diets, you’ll find creative and innovative ideas for
cooking venison. The American Heart Association endorses venison as
a heart-healthy red meat, and when properly handled, processed, and
prepared, it tastes every bit as good as the finest cuts of beef.
The chapter on field processing and care will result in the
best-tasting venison whether you process yourself or have it
commercially done.
Fishing for Chickens is a well-seasoned blend of memoir and
cookbook. It offers the perspective of a Bryson City, North
Carolina, native on a particular portion of southern Appalachia-the
Smokies. Casada serves up a detailed description of the folkways of
food as they existed in the Smokies over a span of three
generations, beginning early in the twentieth century. Fancy-dancy
food magazines and self-ordained cuisine cognoscenti regularly rave
about gustatory delights reflecting the Appalachian cooking
tradition. Yet they focus on restaurants in regional cities such as
Asheville and Nashville, Chattanooga and Cleveland, or even the
bustling metropolis of Atlanta. Simply put, they are missing the
boat, at least in Casada's eyes. Peppered with ample anecdotes,
personal memories and experiences, the wisdom of wonderful cooks,
and recipes reflective of the overall high-country culinary
experience, Casada's book brings these culinary tales to life.
Fishing for Chickens includes dishes that Casada has cooked and
eaten, recipes handed down through family or close friends, food
memories of an intensely personal nature, and an abiding love for a
fast-fading way of life. In addition to twenty-four chapters
focusing on such diverse topics as "Yard Bird," Nuts," and "New
Year's Fare," the author includes nearly two hundred family
recipes. With his story, Casada guides readers through a
fast-vanishing culinary world that merits not only recollection but
preservation.

Venison Cookbook: From Field to Table your answer to a table of

Originally published in 1926, Twenty Years Hunting and Fishing in
the Great Smoky Mountains is a vivid, firsthand account of life in
rural Appalachia. Samuel J. Hunnicutt was an avid and accomplished
outdoorsman. He lived with his wife, Leah, and seven children in
what is today the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. Hunnicutt's
many hunting and fishing trips in this rugged and remote part of
North Carolina are recounted in forty-seven tales captured in his
distinct and unadorned voice. Hunnicutt's original work, long
considered a lost classic, is presented here in an unaltered
facsimile edition with a new introduction by Jim Casada.
