Recenzii
“Being just south of where I grew up, I felt right at home in this environment, as if I were in a room of my uncles.” - Donald Link
“It’s by far not the fanciest group of buildings I’ve ever seen, but the setting and the romance of hunting at Bayou Club is priceless.” - John Besh
“Fighting Bayou is the best place in the world for unbelievable duck hunting, fabulous Southern cooking and listening to great stories from true characters. I always cherish my time at this special place.”- Eli Manning
Wild Abundance captures the time-honored Southern hunting camp experience in stunning photographs and moving descriptions by some of my very favorite chefs. I was immediately reminded of the tales my grandfather told of his duck hunting exploits, and I can still taste the magic his cook worked with the bounty he brought home. Happily, there is also plenty of magic on these pages. This book is a real gift to anyone who loves the South and its traditions and, above all, good food.
In wonderful photography and delicious recipes, Wild Abundance offers a rare glimpse into one of the nation’s hidden worlds, the South’s venerable hunting clubs where time has stood still, where the primordial face-off between humans and nature continues and where the cooking remains some of the finest to be found.
Along with visions of some of my Southern chef friends having the time of their lives, the spirit of the South is what lives on in the timeless anthology Wild Abundance. The winter bird hunt, a Southern rite of passage, is usually a private time with close friends and family ߝ coming together to break bread and share in the ancient ritual of hunting for sustenance. While plenty of strong drink brings out a Roman feasting element, all is bound by a Southern sense of hospitality and gracious sharing. It brings an almost spiritual side to the predawn winter night ߝ freezing cold, nervous with anticipation ߝ all captured on these glorious pages with chefs, camp cooks and good buddies. I wish I were there. Well, next winter, let’s go. But until then, Wild Abundance will happily do.
“Louisiana and the southern United States are uniquely poised at the apex of the Mississippi flyway, and every autumn finds sportsmen ready for another season in the blind. While fielding wild fowl is a birthright in the South, being named camp cook is a privilege and honor bestowed upon few. Yes, sportsmen live for crisp mornings on the marsh, but perhaps most cherished are the culinary masterpieces created at spectacular mansions in the marsh such as Richard Zuschlag’s Grande View Lodge in Creole, Louisiana, and in fabulous cookbooks like Wild Abundance.”

Comentariile autorului
It was so gratifying that these chefs put their time, energy, hearts and souls into this project. I was touched by their passion and their heartfelt commitment to pay tribute to the unsung cooks in the camps who are keeping an important culinary tradition alive.
The owners who opened these private clubs to us offered a rare glimpse into this world. They are all avid conservationists and devoted to preserving and caring for the land so that future generations can enjoy the fruits of the land.
Next time someone bemoans that they can’t think of anything to get a man or a hunter in their lives, I’ve got the perfect solution. In my travels, I’ve already heard from people who bought our first book, First Shooting Light, as a wedding gift or housewarming gift and can’t wait to give Wild Abundance. It’s the perfect coffee table book to showcase the soul and spirit of the South.

I meet up with the beautiful and sweet ladies who I will cook with tonight ߝ in particular Ms. Sylvia, who is quite the chef and leader of this kitchen brigade. Having met Sylvia before, I know she’s a pistol and that this is her kitchen. Without a doubt, she is able to cook as well, if not better, than most restaurant chefs throughout south Louisiana. As with most folks from Cajun country, she was born not with a silver spoon but one made of wood, perfect for stirring a cast iron pot. Though I had met her before, today would be my first time cooking with her, and boy, am I excited. I come bearing gifts of crabs, oysters, shrimp and wine. That’s the way in with a good cook ߝ food and wine! From that point on, we have a ball. We swap stories of gumbo, étouffée, grillades and jambalaya. I pour her a glass of wine and ask her to sit, as I am going to do the work for her tonight. Of course, she won’t hear of it. So we get in there and cook, drink and dance. It is on. First things first, I show her how to debone the teal while keeping the skin intact, stuff the birds and prepare them for roasting. While that’s taking place, I’ve also got a sauce made out of quince preserves that will reduce down with onions, cane vinegar and veal stock. I burn the sauce twice, much to the enjoyment of my dear chef Sylvia, who laughs and thinks it humorous that even with a television cooking show, I still burn the sauce. With the stuffed teal in various stages of preparation, the ladies and I work on a few hors d’oeuvres for the hunters to enjoy before the meal. As they wait for dinner to be served, they browse the meticulously kept hunt log, where much speculation is made of where we should hunt and what we might expect to bag.
