MeatEater's Wild + Whole: Seasonal Recipes for the Conscious Cook by Danielle Prewett

MeatEater's Wild + Whole: Seasonal Recipes for the Conscious Cook by Danielle Prewett

Regular price $35.00 Sale

From Harmony / Rodale Books

Over 80 seasonal recipes for cooking with wild game and eating consciously, from the founder of MeatEater's food vertical Wild + Whole.
Wild + Whole founder Danielle Prewett believes that every meal should tell a story and that sustainable eating starts by reawakening our connection to food and relying on the inherent rhythms and seasons of nature. As MeatEater’s leading voice for wild foods and a trusted resource for cooking wild game, Prewett seeks out seasonal local foods and focuses on living off the land through hunting, fishing, foraging, and gardening. In her debut cookbook, Wild + Whole, she shares her personal entry into hunting and processing wild game and her philosophy for cooking seasonally, eating consciously, and approaching food with curiosity, thoughtfulness, and intention.

Wild + Whole is not just another cookbook on how to cook wild game, but rather what to cook with wild game. Prewett shares wild game entrees as well as the sides and vegetarian dishes that round out our meals over the course of a season. She dispels age-old myths about cooking with game meat, offers techniques for cooking with sustainably-sourced wild game, and shares over 80 recipes that celebrate the diversity of food and are organized by season, including:

  • Spring: Cheesy Fried Morels with Rustic Tomato Sauce, Perfect Pan-Roasted Turkey Breast with White Wine and Tarragon Sauce
  • Summer: Black Bean, Corn and Tongue Empanadas with Cilantro-Lime Crema, Broiled Salmon with Miso-Peach Jam and Crispy-Fried Rice
  • Fall: Butternut Squash Chutney with Blue Cheese and Crackers, Smoked Sage Venison Tenderloin with Brown Butter and Ultra-Creamy Mashed Potatoes
  • Winter: Popovers with Roasted Bone Marrow and Celery Leaf Gremolata, Giant Duck Fat Chocolate Chip Cookies

With tips and tricks for food preservation, smart suggestions for reducing food waste and getting the most out of a garden, and instructive line drawings to help identify and cook with different cuts and types of meat, Prewett offers practical guidance for eating more sustainably. Wild + Whole is your guide to slowing down, getting outside, and reconnecting with your food.
