Veteran cookbook authors Jim and Ann Casada share 400 field- and kitchen-tested recipes, along with dozens of sauces and marinades, 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, and meatballs and chilis, along with offerings for slow cooker, casserole dish, and grill. Healthier and more natural than overly processed beef, venison is a low-fat, low-cholesterol, high-protein option, and the Casadas have focused on providing health-smart recipes. They also include tips on the best spices and cooking methods, as well as processing, packaging, and safe handling of the meat. From appetizers to 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 is every bit as delectable as the finest cuts of beef. The information on field processing and care will result in the best-tasting venison whether you process the meat 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.

The phrase, straight shooter, is as American as apple pie, and there was a time when those words were an important link to another time-honored phrase, putting meat on the table. Today, however, most of us no longer live close to the land and we tend to associate the essentials for meal preparation with grocery store shelves and showcases rather than fields and forests. Yet, enjoying a game feast brings a special sense of self-satisfaction. Sitting down to a fine meal featuring game you have killed, cleaned and cooked offers a reward no food from a restaurant or meat market can match. The folks at Remington Arms Company, along with the untold millions of Americans who have hunted with Remington guns and ammunition for generation, are keenly aware of this aspect of the sporting experience. For them, the allure of the quest remains strong, and appreciation of the fact that the sportsman eats what he kills is a defining aspect of hunting ethics. This book is written with that sense of what is right and proper firmly in mind, but it is also intended to provide a culinary excursion into realms of pure pleasure. With the exception of a chapter where various Remington employees, past and present, share their favorite ways of preparing food, the recipes come from Jim and Ann Casada. For them, wild fare and its preparation is an integral part of daily life. Both grew up in homes where game on the family table was a mainstay of life. Over the years their shared background in game cookery, along with a love of the culinary arts, has led to the development of hundreds of recipes and publication of a number of widely acclaimed cookbooks. In these pages the Casadas offer a wide array of recipes ranging across the whole spectrum of game cookery. From sumptuous dishes featuring prime cuts of venison that would do a four-star restaurant proud to simple yet delicious soups and stews, you will find something for every taste. The authors recipes mirror their cooking philosophy.
