Books about Manikowski from Amazon.com

In Wild Fish & Game Cookbook, wildlife artist and chef John Manikowski combines his experiences in the wilderness and in the kitchen to offer 100 recipes for cooking fish and game, accompanied by his illustrations of creatures in the wild and stories of hunting and fishing.

From the Berkshires to Guatemala, from Scotland to Montana, Manikowski's hunting and fishing expeditions have brought him into contact with a wide range of fascinating people, animals, places, and--especially--good things to eat. Manikowski has fished for black bass in paradisial Lake Atitlan in Guatemala; shot caribou in the wilds of Labrador; and lost a marlin as big as a boat off Puerto Escondito in Mexico. He has made exquisitely detailed drawings of mallards, pheasants, striped bass, trout, and elk. And he has perfected the recipes he now shares: SautTed Trout with Morels, Striped Bass with Snow Peas, Canada Goose with Fiddleheads, Stewed Pheasant with Olives and Plums, and Wild Game Cassoulet.

In addition to his game dishes, Manikowski provides recipes for appropriate appetizers, sauces, vegetable accompaniments, and desserts, so entire meals can be prepared in remote wilderness cabins as well as at home using only this book. The Wild Fish & Game Cookbook also tells you how to prepare a smoker and a charcoal grill, how to bone and cure fish, and other tips for preparing game.

Manikowski makes a perfect guide to the world of wild fish and game--both in the wilderness and in the kitchen..

There are at least 20,000 species of fish in the oceans, rivers, and streams of the world. In Fish Grilled & Smoked, master fisherman and chef John Manikowski teaches seafood lovers 150 succulent ways to cook just about anything that swims.

If this book were only a cookbook, it would be a valuable addition to any kitchen library. But Manikowski has nudged Fish Grilled & Smoked into the realm of the truly unique by providing step-by-step instructions for rigging a smoker streamside, operating a smoker at home, and even building a full-size backyard smokehouse. Manikowski then lists which species of fish are best for smoking: bluefish, yellowtail, whitefish, chub, herring, and lake trout.

As an avid outdoorsman and seafood aficionado, Manikowski is always inventing new and flavorful ways to prepare fish. This cookbook includes his innovative "soft smoke" method, suitable for any outdoor grill, which uses dried corn to give the fish a sweet flavor. Seafood lovers will also savor the wild cuisine recipes Manikowski developed in the woods: Striped Bass with Cattail Shoots and Morels, Grilled Butterflied Trout, and Grilled Small-mouth Bass Wrapped in Corn Husks. Plus, Manikowski supplies recipes for fish-friendly condiments, sauces, salsas, side dishes, and desserts--he even suggests which type of wine and beer goes best with his dishes.

Not only does fish make a delicious meal, it makes a healthy meal. The American Heart Association says two servings of seafood per week can help reduce the risk of heart disease. Healthy food has never been richer or more flavorful than this!.
