This cookbook was previously published
as two volumes: Southern Fish and Seafood Cookbook
(0-87844--26-7,1975) and Southern Wildfowl and Wild
Game Cookbook (0-87844-135-6,1976). Both
books are included in their entirety.
Southern Cooking
with Fish and Game
contains hundreds of recipes, many formulated while the
author grew up in a restaurant kitchen operated by his
family.
The Southern Fish
and Seafood section explains methods of cooking and
discusses all of the species of fish featured in the
recipes. Baking, frying, poaching, steaming and stewing of
fish and shellfish are covered, along with sauces and dishes
to accompany fish. There is also a "how to" section on
selecting, cleaning and freezing fish which makes this
cookbook a treasure for those who love to fish and those who
love to prepare and enjoy the catch.
The Southern
Wildfowl and Wild Game section explains both field
preparation of the game and kitchen preparation of recipes
that are "representative of many a good meal provided by the
hunt," from quail and snipe to deer and raccoon.
The recipes do not
require expensive ingredients and are easy to prepare.
