I was really, really impressed with this cookbook. Like, more than I thought I could ever be impressed by a cook book.
-The pictures, both of the food but other illustrations and graphics, are absolutely gorgeous.
-The recipes are well-formatted and the instructions are well-written.
-The food is delicious.
I know, the above points should be a given, but I've seen plenty of cook books fall short of this!
-It has the right balance of recipes to anecdotes. I don't mind some personal stories with recipes - provided they aren't Beowulfian sagas completely unrelated to the recipe. Food is personal and social and we shouldn't forget that. The stories here were always directly related, brief, and told well.
-The tone is professional, ethical, and informative. I have to admit: I am no hunter. I do shoot a recurve bow, but I don't hunt. From my experiences at the range, I was a bit apprehensive going into this, fearing it would be written with a certain "boys' club" tone, a macho attitude, an unabashed love for violence and death. Dare I say it? I feared it would be filled with toxic masculinity. Instead, I was pleasantly surprised. Rinella speaks with respect towards the animals and emphasizes how important it is to not be wasteful. Rinella speaks with respect towards the reader. Rinella speaks with respect towards the environment, towards other hunters and cooks.
-Its incredibly informative in butchering and other prep that you might not see in other cookbooks. I definitely learned some new things reading this. Ditto for meat - I had no idea sea cucumber could be good eating!
-It has a wide swath of recipes covering different kinds of meat and different kinds of preparation. Really, that is perhaps my only criticism: unlike most other cookbooks, I think one would be hard-pressed to cook their way through the whole thing. How fortunate I am to have the excellent butcher and fishmonger nearby.
That also made the book hard to review, since I couldn't make 5-7 dishes from it in a week or two. I'm going to work my way through it as best I can over the next few months, updating as I go:
1/14: Made the fried smelt. I had never had smelt of any kind before, but these came out delightfully crispy. Made a simple sriracha-mayo dip for them.
2/5: Made the salmon gravlax with jalapenos, cumin, cilantro, and tequila. Instructions were easy to follow, and it was fucking spectacular. I've made gravlax before, but this was the best gravlax I've ever had, with the most balanced flavor. My only change would be using a gallon Ziploc bag over plastic wrap if you can.
2/14: Made the grilled marinated duck hearts with grilled grapes. Had to substitute chicken hearts. Surprisingly quick and easy, marinade really came through. It was easy to overpower the meat with the suggested pesto, though, so go easy on it. Grapes were shockingly good!
2/17: Made the salt-crusted whole fish with a nearly 3-pound red snapper. Had to cook it a few more minutes due to the size. Added some ground sweet orange peel to the salt with the other spices. This recipe wasn't too different from other salt domes we've tried in the past, but the addition of smashed garlic to the interior and spices to the dome itself made a noticeable difference in flavor. Fish turned out exceptionally light, flavorful, and moist. We served it with roasted vegetables. Would do again.
2/18: Made the turtle soup (albeit with gator since the fishmonger was out of turtle). This was a hearty, gumbo-like soup with great flavor. My only real complaint is I wish the recipe was formatted a bit differently. Also: you can make a really dark roux by putting your whisked butter and flour in the oven (in a Dutch oven) rather than standing over the hot stovetop. I cooked mine for 45m in a 350 degree oven and it was great! (
