Review: I absolutely loved this book - I absolutely loved this book. I am a fan of all of Steve Rinella's work, but this, in particular, I found captivating. I love hunting, fishing, cooking, and the curiosity and adventure of eating unconventional foods and wildlife that are not culturally "normal". Steve does a great job of presenting all of these things and pulls them together to tell a great story of a beautiful feast and the work and care that it required to materialize. As this indulges in wild food gathering and food preparation alike, it leans more toward the preparation of the meal and would be a great read for the adventurous chef. I found this book inspiring and mouth watering. I love the respect and reverence Steve shows for nature and wildlife down to the care of the ingredients, the preparation of the meals that they become, the consumption of the meal, and all the joy that comes with going through the process and sharing the experience with friends. The Scavenger's Guide immediately jumped up to my top 5 books list and I will be reading it again very soon.
Review: Steve Rinella's "Scavenger's Guide to Haute Cuisine" - I saw a review of this book in National Geographic Adventure Magazine. It really grabbed my interest, so I ordered the book. Wow! What a great read. It is a mixture of tales about hunting, fishing, adventure, history, cooking, and friendship. How could you ask for more. Let me hasten to say that if you are a non hunter, non fisherman, or even a vegetarian don't turn your back on this book---if you do, you will miss one heck of a story. In fact, if I were to point out what I felt was the most amazing aspect of this story---it would be friendship! The fact that Rinella had such a group of friends and family to cook a four day Thanksgiving feast for, says volumes about him and his family. My test of a book is simple---would I read it again --- Not only, would I, but I will---if I ever get it back from those I have loaned it to, insisting that they read it:-) Not only that but I will scan the list in ever "National Geographic Adventure" to see if Steve Rinella's by line is on a story! I can't wait for his next book! In the mean time, would you please pass me that turtle soup and a few more mud bugs!!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I Love This Guy
*by A***B on February 24, 2021*

I’ve read all his books now. This one last. In many ways it is my favorite. It’s hard to write a memoir kind of book and stay interesting. But Steve’s real life is full of characters and adventures that you just cannot see coming. After years of watching MeatEater on Netflix, this book is a joy because it gives you all sorts of origin stories for all sorts of characters you’ve come to love. As for Steve himself, his engagement and joy in every part of the natural world (and some understated and wry commentary on the human world) makes for the exact the right kind of narrator. - Rob Ashcom
