The Wild Game Instant Pot Cookbook: Simple and Delicious Ways to Prepare Venison, Turkey, Pheasant, Duck and other Small Game

by Beverly Hudson

Cook the wild game you love to hunt in the easiest and most delicious way possible—with your Instant Pot! The Wild Game Instant Pot gives you over 70 recipes and tips plus 30 photographs of preparing wild game with ease and skill.

It's easy to see why everyone loves the Instant Pot. It saves work in the kitchen after a day hunting, without sacrificing results—you still end up with delicious, fall-off-the-bone meat. Because wild game tends to be much leaner than store-bought cuts of meat, slow and low cooking—hallmark of the Instant Pot—is often essential to creating tender and tasty dinners.

The rumors are all true—the Instant Pot is a game changer in your kitchen. Prepare the most popular types of big game, small game, upland birds, and waterfowl, such as venison, turkey, pheasant, duck, goose, rabbit, and more, all featured in delicious recipes for breakfast and brunch, appetizers, soups, stews, chilis, side dishes, and other easy-to-cook entrees.

Hunters and cooks will return to this cookbook again and again for fantastic dishes for every occasion.

The Wild Game Instant Pot is a tutorial and recipe collection for wild game by Beverly Hudson. Due out 25th Aug 2020 from Quarto on their Voyageur imprint, it's 160 pages and will be available in hardcover format.

This is an interesting and varied collection of recipes, well curated and written, combining the labor saving and control of the Instant Pot with dishes featuring game (with alternate proteins listed for each recipe if game isn't on the menu). The format is easy to follow and the layout is logical and progresses from a basic tutorial for using the instant pot to safety and some food handling tips.

The recipes are arranged thematically: Sandwiches, Soups & Chili, Big game main dishes, Small game mains, Gamebird mains, sides, and party recipes. The recipes have their ingredients listed bullet style in a sidebar. Measurements are given in US standard with metric/SI units in parentheses (yay!). Special tools and ingredients are also listed, along with yields and cooking directions. Most of the ingredients are easily sourced at any moderately well stocked grocery store (apart from the meats, and those have alternatives listed). The appendices include a pantry list of staples, high altitude adjustments, adapting stovetop and slow cooker recipes for the Instant Pot, as well as a cross referenced index. There is no included nutritional information supplied in the recipes.

Almost all of the recipes are beautifully photographed. These are appealing "everyday special" recipes which are tasty and family-friendly (no kale smoothies between the covers of this one). This would make a really good selection for the smallholder, hunter, self-sufficiency folks, or anyone who wants to try some exotic but family friendly dishes.

Five stars.
