S: Gave this as a gift and it was perfect. There are a lot of really interesting recipes for outdoorsy people. This would also make a nice coffee table book for guests.

A. Wiederman: First off, let me be completely honest. I've read Hank Shaw's blog for several years now, and regularly correspond with him, so I was eagerly awaiting his first book. And though my expectations were high, Hank easily exceeded them.
For those not familiar with Hank, he's a forager, angler, and hunter who prefers wild (not to mention free) proteins and produce to those in grocery stores. As he quips on his website, he's "an omnivore who has solved his dilemma."
Fortunately for us, he's also committed to sharing his experience and knowledge. In this book, he offers a glimpse into a variety of plants, vegetables, herbs, mollusks, fish, and wild game that anyone with some basic knowledge and minimal tools can track down -- and eat -- in most of the USA. He does an excellent job of featuring the most widespread species of plants, fish and game, so that, regardless of where you live, there should be several things that you'll be able to locate on your own.
Hank's stories will excite you, his successes will inspire you, and the way he makes it all seem so easy will light a fire under your rump to get out and start hunting, gathering, and fishing.
All in all,...

an old duck hunter: Those of us who check in regularly to Hank Shaw's award winning blog, Hunter, Angler, Cook ([...]) have been waiting with scant patience for the coming out of his new book Hunt, Gather, Cook; Finding the Forgotten Feast It finally hit the stands late in May, on schedule, but none too soon enough for a lot of us.
The book came a couple of days ago, all 324 pages, including some great photography, and divided basically in three parts: gathering (foraging) things that grow; fishing, (including gathering shell fish) and hunting, both birds and four footed game. He includes at least a couple of recipes with each chapter, sometimes more, and they by themselves are worth the price of admission.
The book is a delightful mélange of personal experiences, descriptions, and instructions. Hank's writing style is captivating. He could write a book about a shovel full of mud and I'd not be able to put it down until the very end.
If he didn't' write so extremely well this book could have been a disaster, for it covers such a prodigiously wide field.
For those experienced in any one of the three fields, foraging, fishing or hunting, there may not be much to learn. However,...
