Praise for The Hunter Chef Cookbook:
[A] profound read that dispels common myths and misconceptions on the art of hunting for food, how the differences between trophy hunters and those who are putting food on the table is as vast and deep as the ocean. Hunter draws deeply from his decades-old experiences to bring awareness of the importance of sustainability and wild game hunting, along with proper foraging and fishing.

I recognized that Michael Hunter knows what he is talking about the minute I opened this book. Hunter is the kind of guy-and the kind of work-that you get when you combine passion, creativity, inventiveness, and elbow grease. This book makes me hungry, and Michael Hunter makes me proud to be a hunter and angler.
