The MeatEater Outdoor Cookbook: Wild Game Recipes for the Grill, Smoker, Campstove, and Campfire

by Steven Rinella, Krista Ruane (Primary Contributor)

The eagerly anticipated new cookbook with 100+ recipes from the #1 New York Times bestselling author of The MeatEater Fish and Game Cookbook

In his previous books, outdoorsman and hunter Steven Rinella brought wild game into the kitchen, teaching readers how to butcher and cook wild fish and game to create standout dishes with reliable results. Now Rinella is hauling the kitchen outdoors, with a cookbook that celebrates the possibilities of open-air wild game cooking. Because food just tastes better when it’s caught, cooked, and eaten outside.

Each chapter covers a different outdoor cooking method, such as grilling, smoking, and cooking over coals. Throughout, recipes are tagged for backyard cooking, car camping, or backpacking. There’s something here for everyone who loves the outdoors, from backyard grill masters to backcountry big game hunters.

The over 100 easy-to-follow recipes
• Stuffed Venison Burgers, Three Ways
• Bulgogi Lettuce Wraps
• Beaver Confit Toasts
• Grilled Lobster with Kelp Butter
• Clay’s Bear Grease Dutch Oven Biscuits
• Coal Roasted Banana

Along with recipes, Rinella explains essential outdoor cooking techniques such as how to build the perfect outdoor kitchen for any scenario and what it takes to maintain a fire. With preparations ranging from simple backcountry chow to guest-worthy showstoppers, The MeatEater Outdoor Cookbook is the essential companion for anyone who wants to eat well in the wild.

Definitely a welcome addition to the bookshelf filled with useful practical information

My fault. Should've known there would be dozens of dead animal faces and in various states of being torn apart, still made me nauseous. The glorification of murder, including animals, will never sit well with me.

This books offers lots of practical insights for preparing food outdoors. Great inspiration for car camping meals. My one complaint is that I wish there were more jetboil friendly recipes
