Summary: Easy to follow recipes and a thorough introduction to game.
Review: The book covers recipes for game birds (chicken, capon, poussin, duck, goose, guinea hen, ostrich,quail, etc.) game meats and foie gras, sausages and charcuterie. What is special is the detailed instructions that make it very easy for even an inexperienced cook to produce a delicious and different meal. Sidebars add interesting information on techniques, definitions and facts about game. The pictures are beautiful and the text well written. I enjoy reading the book as well as cooking the recipes.

Summary: Scrump-diddly-umptios!
Review: This is not a book for beginners as it refers to demi-glaces, reductions, and terrines as integral parts of the dish. However, for those of us with the knack, this tells you everything you need to know about roasting Bambi or Daffy or multitudes of critters named after former vice-presidents and cities. If you think you will doze off if you eat anymore chicken, then it is time to venture into the exciting world of game. Get to know what complex flavors are and kick your cooking level up a notch (to borrow a phrase). We are grown-ups now. It is time to experience adult flavors. You will love this book and your appreciation of food, wine and therefor-life itself will rise.
