“Girl Hunter” should win a Pulitzer Prize. The writing is so tight and the imagery so rich that years of gentrified abstractions are peeled like an onion. Vegans, vegitarians, beware….you are mere adolescents. This is adult stuff. Read it…..be enthralled.
The book would be a bargain at twice the price just for the prose….and the recipies…..oh my!!

I will have to pick up this book and give it a read. I know that she has some great recipes for wild game, thanks for the review before Christmas Ben.

In reply to Ken G. I agree Ken. She has some really great stuff on her website. I love seeing good recipes although I find myself getting in a rut once I find something I like. It sure is nice to branch out. Ben

In reply to mr blur.

Mike,

I figured as much. I haven’t had a chance to try any of the recipes. I have a batch of quail and my turkey that I’m going to be doing here around the holidays. I’ll probably do a post on how that all goes.

The hunting stories are good. Having grown up hunting and fishing, Georgia comes from a different background, so it’s interesting seeing how her journey progresses. She tells one story about hunting with a poacher that is surprisingly transparent.

At first I thought this post was going to be about your pre-married days. Interesting nonetheless!

I’ve had her site bookmarked and on my blogroll for a long time. I’ll have to go get this book. Her site is enjoyable reading and there is no such thing as too many recipes.

not surprisingly this one has been on my radar.
tried any of the recipes?

how are the hunting stories? the best hunting stories I have ever read were written by a woman who grew up in africa – thrilling stuff. beryl markham “west with the night.”
