"Game is ultimately the most American ingredient, the only possible food capable of establishing itself as a defining element in a true American cuisine." So writes Rebecca Gray in the Preface of The New Gray's Wild Game Cookbook, and for the next 61 menus and 180 individual recipes she gives us what amounts to a celebration of wild game as the ultimate gourmet food. Here, in abundance, is the joy and exhilaration of preparing exquisitely matched accompaniments to beautifully prepared main dishes of venison, wild fowl, upland birds and other choice meats brought to the table by the North American hunter. Laid to rest, through anecdote, personal experience and technical exposition, is any vestige of the intimidation a cook might feel when faced with a just-bagged bird. Extensively revised and updated from the original, The New Gray's Wild Game Cookbook, in addition to separate, menu-filled chapters on Venison, Water Fowl, Upland Birds and Mixed Bag (a collection of menus for such diverse prizes as wild sheep, mountain goat, bear, wild boar and rabbit), contains detailed and stylishly-written chapters on Game Care (not the usual field-dressing and cutting instructions, but a carefully-researched and wittily-presented discussion of what matters most to the cook) and A Few Suggestions (advice and opinion that respects the reader's own experience while passing along nearly thirty years of absorbed interest in fine preparation of tasteful wild game meals). The New Gray's Wild Game Cookbook treats wild game in its truest and broadest context. Wild game is that rarest of culinary ingredients: something that, quite literally, money cannot buy. Rebecca Gray knows this, and every recipe here celebrates it. So will anyone lucky enough to be served its menus.

"This cookbook is a reflection of me, here and now, not just me when I was thirty-something and wrote the first edition, but me as a sixty year old-and now a long-time fisherman. If a cookbook is good, has that character, it has gone beyond the primary purpose of instruction and moved on to entertain and inspire. This is accomplished by revealing bias, passion, inspiration, humor, and probably even frailty, those human traits that combine to create an identity, and which are much more robust now that I'm sixty. And yes and hurrah, this is done all in a milieu of cooking and eating wild." So writes Rebecca Gray in the Preface of The New Gray's Fish Cookbook. Revised and updated from its classic predecessor, this beautiful and very useful book treats fish cookery with style, affection and attention to detail. Complete with 67 menus and hundreds of recipes in enticing and imaginative combinations, The New Gray's Fish Cookbook sets a standard of thoughtfulness and quality against which other cookbooks in the field, past and future, should be measured. No important game species is left out. Plan now for culinary evenings built around: Inshore Saltwater Fish; Offshore Saltwater Fish; Fish From the Tropics; Saltwater Bottom Fish; Shellfish; Stream Freshwater Fish; Walleye and Pike; Shad, Catfish, and Sme

Ross McIntyre and his wife Jean spent 40 years together paddling the great wilderness rivers of North America. Paddle Beads is Ross's inspirational and moving memoir of those trips and the resultant lifetime journey they took together. For those whose hands have not yet grown a paddle callus, McIntyre offers a glimpse of what to expect as a canoe paddle becomes a real companion. For those with miles of water behind and more to come, these pieces will vividly bring back the sensation as the bow rises on a wave or as the canoe leans into a turn. And for those who are content to sit comfortably at the fireside and dream about the way things should be, Paddle Beads will take your imagination on a lasting journey. ---------------- "Paddle Beads is a deeply sensitive, introspective view of how wild places and the magic of canoes shape the human spirit. Masterfully written and rich with life lessons, the author's passion for adventure and his respect for humanity shine through on every page. I simply couldn't put this book down!" Cliff Jacobson
