D'artagnan's Glorious Game Cookbook

The Story

Ariane Daguin and George Faison, owners of D'Artagnan, have been supplying top chefs around the country with game and foie gras for almost fifteen years. Meats such as venison, rabbit, and buffalo are now recognized as healthier and more flavorful alternatives to beef and chicken, and are increasingly available in local supermarkets. The authors provide both classic and contemporary recipes for game ranging from basic roasted birds to elaborate foie gras-enhanced dishes. The recipes often lighten traditional game preparations without losing any of their special character. Among the nearly zoo recipes are Rack of Venison with Szechuan Pepper and Spicy Fruit Chutney, Raspberry-Glazed Poussin with Wild Mushrooms, and Wild Game Sausages on Basil-Flecked Polenta. The authors include suggestions for a complementary vegetable or other side dish, as well as wine or other beverage pairings.
