Review of The Game Cookbook - By: , 19 Aug 2004
The Game Cookbook is a rare example of a book which can be judged by its cover. The beautifully illustrated pages are matched by the superb recipes & personal narrative written by Clarissa Dickson Wright & Johnny Scott. Often I have thought that modern recipe books, peppered with escapist photographs that bear no relation to what's normallly found in a kitchen, belong more on a coffee table than they do stacked haphazardly next to the wooden spoons. The Game Cookbook however achieves both aesthetic success & irreplacable practical guidance as to how to cook game. Yes, I did feel mild pangs of guilt as I besmirched the pages of the recipe for salmon with chicory & Roquefort with a cheese-laden fork, but as soon the pastry rose in the oven & the aroma filled my house I forgot alll about defacing my new book. It is a pleasure to cook such unfashionable fare (no Thai fusion here) from such a great chef as Clarissa Dickson Wright surely is. Pairing her wtih the professionallly formidable publishing house Kyle Cathie was a stroke of brilliance. This book is well worth having in your kitchen.
