Chaos Theory and Roast Partridge

Roast partridge, grouse or quail is a wonderful idea, but in practice the bird often comes out dry. Pan roasting is a far better way to roast game birds. This is by far the best way to cook upland birds, or small, skinny ducks like teal.

Braised Rabbit with Garlic

Rarely are dishes this simple this good. Something about lots of slow-braised rabbit and whole garlic cloves, spiked with sweet peas and a splash of vinegar makes this recipe far greater than the sum of its parts.

Grouse Northwoods

Char Siu Pork

Char siu is basically Chinese barbecue, usually done with pork, or in my case, wild boar (it works with bear meat, too). It's sweet, spicy and so damn good you owe it to yourself to master this recipe.

Acorn Soup

This is one of my favorite things to make with acorns, and for those of you who can't do wheat, it's gluten free. My acorn soup really shines with the garnishes of sour cream, slices of grouse (or chicken), and some fancy oil.

Smoked Salmon Deviled Eggs

Deviled eggs are one of those foods I have a hard time controlling myself with. I've been known to eat a dozen at a sitting, and even though I know I'll feel ill afterwards, I can't stop eating them. These deviled eggs, made with smoked salmon, are especially good.

Roast Woodcock Michigan

Roast woodcock with a sweet-tart sauce of Michigan apples and Michigan-made vinegar, served on toast. It's pure Michigan, and I wish I could get back there to hunt timberdoodles again soon...
