HUNTING FOR FOOD
REVIEWS
“
Jenny and Rick have put together an excellent primer on exactly what this book's title says: Hunting for food. Lots of useful information in every chapter, and those chapters cover pretty much everything you will find in North America, with the exception of large cervids ... some game birds ... Jenny is an excellent cook, especially when she taps into her Vietnamese heritage.

“
The meat of the book is really the field-dressing portion, and the authors do a great job detailing the steps to cleaning game, complete with illustrative photos ... The authors’ backgrounds shine through in the recipes ...This, combined with the information on best cooking methods for each species and cut, is enough to make it a handy reference guide for the kitchen.

“
The information provided is concise and informative. The photographs do not shy away from the realities of cleaning, skinning, and processing wild game (which is likely a turn-off to non-hunters, but is a matter of course for those of us who desire a closer connection to our food sources) ... This is a good book for any level of hunter, from beginner to aged woodsman.
