Duck and Goose Recipes from the Wilds of Eagle Lake Texas and the Rock Island Prairies - James' Recipe Series #6

Sidney St. James

Sinossi

Sidney St. James, an award-winning author in the romance and crime writing genre, is also a writer of hunting stories and recipe manuals on the preparation of wild game. In this novel, James shows one doesn't have to be afraid of cooking duck and goose and have you cooking like a pro right away.
The good ole days…that's what we baby boomers say when we talk about how much simpler life was growing up, especially without all this high tech stuff surrounding us.
How simple you may ask? So simple, that I began my hunting experience by becoming a professional guide at the Eagle Lake Rod and Gun Club on the lake waters of Eagle Lake in Texas. When not guiding people like Richard 'Racehorse' Haynes, an attorney out of Houston or Dr. Denton Cooley, a heart surgeon from Houston calling ducks to land outside our blind, I was taking the ducks and geese killed back to A&M University to help my roommates and I survive during my tenure there.
At A&M, when not studying, Joe Rau and Jack Etheridge out of Columbus would come back from the weekend with packages and packages of deer meat, Javelina, and squirrel. I would go back on Sunday night and bring packages of goose and duck, and a few oddball meats such as bullfrogs and alligator. On Monday and Wednesday, I would cook duck or goose, and on Tuesday and Thursday, Joe and Jack would cook venison, Javelina, and other animals you might be disgusted with (Armadillo).
You see, none of us had much money and did not go out to eat. Instead of buying a dollar hot dog at the corner UTOTEM every night, one of us would cook. No one cooked on Friday as we all headed back home, Joe and Jack to Columbus and me, back over to Eagle Lake where Racehorse and Denton awaited another exciting early morning hunting over the decoys.
Well, enough with how I got started. The truth is, my love for wild game of all sorts has me here writing about some of the great recipes for cooking ducks, pheasants, dove, geese, and other wildfowl.

The Virginia Housewife - Or...

Mary Randolph

The first regional cookbook published in the United States, this nineteenth century kitchen manual includes recipes, kitchen tips and house management solutions. 
 
Published in 1824 in Washington, DC, Virginia Housewife is considered by many culinary historians to be the first real American cookbook, with recipes that originated in American kitchens, leaving behind British traditions, ingredients and methods. Virginia Housewife is also recognized as the nation’s first regional cookbook with a focus on southern-style specialties, some appearing in print for the first time, such as Ochra Soup, Curry of Catfish, Gumbo, Chicken Pudding, Apoquiniminc Cakes. But author Mary Randolph also includes local variations of recipes from the West Indies, New England, Spain, and France, all reflecting the influence of many cuisines on Southern cooking. Diverse offerings include Dough Nuts, Gaspacho, Ropa Vieja, as well as a number of delightful ice cream recipes including, black walnut, quince, pear, citron, and almond. An immediate success, Virginia Housewife was republished at least nineteen times before the Civil War.   
 
The Virginia Housewife is also a complete lifestyle reference providing an introduction to the food, culture, and manners of the antebellum South, as well as housekeeping instructions on topics ranging from soap making to herb drying and silver cleaning—everything that a woman of the nineteenth (or the twenty-first) century might desire to know. 
 
This facsimile edition of Mary Randolph’s Virginia Housewife was reproduced by permission from the volume in the collection of the American Antiquarian Society, Worcester, Massachusetts, founded in 1812.

The Booklovers' Guide to Wine -...

Patrick Alexander

A delightfully informative guide to two of the world’s most rewarding pleasures—fine wine and great literature—that make for an irresistible pairing.   Nothing in the world is more satisfying to the soul than a glass of excellent cabernet sauvignon, pinot grigio, bordeaux, or any number of fine varietals—unless it’s curling up by the fire with a truly exceptional novel, history, or collection of short fiction. Now Patrick Alexander, wine aficionado and author of The Illustrated Proust, combines these unparalleled pleasures in a unique guidebook to delight connoisseurs of both Gatsby and the grape.   In The Booklovers’ Guide to Wine, Alexander shares his passion for the culture and history of wine and his love of great authors and their enduring works. Eschewing the traditional pairings of food and drink, he explores instead the most pleasing combinations of reds, whites, and rosés with their most compatible writers—be it Shakespeare with sherry, Jane Austin with chardonnay, or J.R.R. Tolkien with albariño. In addition, he examines the most interesting and thought-provoking wine references in literature while providing an intriguing history of the beloved beverage from biblical times to the latest trends.   Chock-full of intriguing facts, expert opinions, and entertaining anecdotes, The Booklovers’ Guide to Wine is a book to be savored by anyone who appreciates the complexity of a full-bodied shiraz or the unmistakable flavor of a great author.
