<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>"An earlier edition of this work was published in 2006 by Miramax Books/Hyperion."--Title page verso.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>"If Jack Kerouac had hung out with Julia Child instead of Neal Cassady, this book might have been written fifty years ago."--<i>The Wall Street Journal</i></b> <p/>When outdoorsman, avid hunter, and nature writer Steven Rinella stumbles upon Auguste Escoffier's 1903 milestone <i>Le Guide Culinaire, </i>he's inspired to assemble an unusual feast: a forty-five-course meal born entirely of Escoffier's esoteric wild game recipes. Over the course of one unforgettable year, he steadily procures his ingredients--fishing for stingrays in Florida, hunting mountain goats in Alaska, flying to Michigan to obtain a fifteen-pound snapping turtle--and encountering one colorful character after another. And as he introduces his vegetarian girlfriend to a huntsman's lifestyle, Rinella must also come to terms with the loss of his lifelong mentor--his father. An absorbing account of one man's relationship with family, friends, food, and the natural world, <i>The Scavenger's Guide to Haute Cuisine </i>is a rollicking tale of the American wild and its spoils.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"If Jack Kerouac had hung out with Julia Child instead of Neal Cassady, this book might have been written fifty years ago. . . .
