I am looking for interesting recipes for venison (or other game, like rabbit), or for the name of a good game cookbook. I had a cookbook once, but somehow managed to loose it, and I can't seem to locate much in the local shops (hunting does not seem to be chic these days). Please mail to me, and I will post them to the net. Thanks. Margaret Reek Rochester Institute of Technology ritcv!asgard!mmr

Thanks. > > Margaret Reek > Rochester Institute of Technology > ritcv!asgard!mmr I can't say that I'm big on game myself, but during one summer in North Carolina the people I stayed with were. Aside from the obvious caveat that one should clean the game asap after it is killed, they gave me a tip on preparation of venison. After the piece to be cooked is cut, they would soak it in milk overnight (sometimes buttermilk). Apparently this reduced the gameyness and tenderized the meat. You might also check some of the older editions of "The Joy of Cooking". I seem to recall that the author dealt with a variety of game as a matter of course. Nemo

One point in preparing venison is to remember to have the person who cleans the deer in the field to remove the musk glands located in the rear lower legs before hanging the deer to clean it. This prevents the musk from seeping into the system as you clean the deer. Doing this will greatly reduce the gamey taste of venison. Good luck. T. C. Wheeler

The cookbook I have found to be very useful in cooking game (ie. deer
elk, duck, rabbit, etc.) is "The Grange Cookbook." I don't think
this book is available through your local bookstore however there was
an address in the back of mine that you might write to concerning
price, availability, etc.:
The Grange Cookbook
c/o Favorite Recipes Press
Box 3177
Montgomery, Alabama 36109.
This cookbook is a meat cookbook and has some very good recipes.
