University Montana Wild Game Cookbook

by None

Steve Rinella mentions this cookbook while discussing how he prepares ducks. He explains he had this book when he was at University of Montana, and it was created by someone who ran the cafeteria. He used recipes from it, including a rolled meatloaf with spinach and pine nuts, and a method for cutting and preparing ducks that he still uses. The book is not written by Steve himself but was something he used as a student.
