The Scavenger's Guide to Haute Cuisine: How I Spent a Year in the American Wild to Re-create a Feast from the Classic Recipes of French Master Chef Auguste Escoffier

When outdoorsman, avid hunter, and nature writer Steven Rinella stumbles upon Auguste Escoffierâ€™s 1903 milestone Le Guide Culinaire, heâ€™s inspired to assemble an unusual feast: a forty-five-course meal born entirely of Escoffierâ€™s esoteric wild game recipes. Over the course of one unforgettable year, he steadily procures his ingredientsâ€”fishing for stingrays in Florida, hunting mountain goats in Alaska, flying to Michigan to obtain a fifteen-pound snapping turtleâ€”and encountering one colorful character after another. And as he introduces his vegetarian girlfriend to a huntsmanâ€™s lifestyle, Rinella must also come to terms with the loss of his lifelong mentorâ€”his father. An absorbing account of one manâ€™s relationship with family, friends, food, and the natural world, The Scavengerâ€™s Guide to Haute Cuisine is a rollicking tale of the American wild and its spoils.
