Girl Hunter: Revolutionizing the Way We Eat, One Hunt at a Time ($15)
Living in Montana, I can't help but love this meat-celebrating cookbook. Girl Hunter (De Capo, December 2011), written by classically-trained New York chef and fearless omnivore Georgia Pellegrini, is a food-laden hunting narrative that shares the adventures of being a self-sufficient eater. Teaming up with veteran hunters, Pelligrini travels over field and stream to hunt venison, wild boar, elk, quail and more. After the kill, she presents succulent ways to eat her meats. Finger-licking recipes include Wild Turkey and Oyster Stew, Stuffed Quail, Pheasant Tagine and Venison Sausage. After paging through this cookbook, you may just find yourself booking a hunting vacation – and, if not, you will certainly gain an appreciation for those who hunt for their meals.
