Hey Wisconsin! I'm headed your way. My book tour is leading me to Big Ten country this month, and I wanted to let you know about a few events I'll be at all over Wisconsin this month. First up is a book dinner at The Charmant Hotel in LaCrosse on October 20. Details and reservations are here. This will be my first event in LaCrosse, and I am really looking forward to it! The following evening I'll be in Madison, back at Forequarter, one of my favorite restaurants in the Midwest! And, well, I went to college in Madison, so Go Badgers! Everyone’s reservation ticket comes with a signed book. Here’s the tentative menu: - Confit of pheasant, spinach,
fermented aronia-apple vinaigrette with shaved parsni and apple
- Braised Quail pierogis with a cranberry-quail sauce and hen of the woods mushrooms
- Buttermilk Fried Rabbit, apple slaw and maple-cayenne syrup
- Sorghum Ice Cream, fried quail skin and hazelnut crumble
Cost is $75 for dinner and a signed copy of the book. Make your reservation
by calling Forequarter at 608/609-4717. After that, I'll be just north of Milwaukee in Cedarburg at the Fermentorium, where we'll be doing a casual
beer dinner for $55 -- and that includes a copy of Pheasant, Quail, Cottontail -- or just show up, grab a book and a beer! Call 262-421-8593 if you want to reserve a spot for the dinner. Hope to see you out there! ~ Hank
This spring I will be teaming up with my friend Larry Robinson at Coastal Wings Outfitters for a special culinary hunt for ducks and geese this January in Oklahoma!
As with all the hunts, this one is more than just the hunt itself. I'll be cooking dinner for everyone each night, and
you can expect some special dishes based off my cookbooks.
After each morning's hunt, I will give you tips and ideas on how to use every part of the birds you bring home, cooking techniques, as well as tricks on smoking and preserving your small game.
The hunt is January 17 to 20, and the cost is $2250 all-in, including lodging, all meals, cooking classes, game processing, and a copy of one of my
books.
There are only FOUR spots left for this hunt, so email me at scrbblr@hotmail.com if you want them. |
I am on the road a lot, often in wild places in search of fish, game or wild edible plants and mushrooms. If you want to keep up with what I am chasing at the moment -- and this will give you
a good, real-time indicator of what's in season where I happen to be -- follow me on Instagram. My handle there is @huntgathercook Instagram is often the only social media account I update when I am out and about. I am of course also on Twitter as @hank_shaw and Facebook as/huntgathercook as well. Day in and day out, however, most of my online interaction is in a Facebook forum I run called Hunt Gather Cook. It's a closed site, so I have to let you in, but just let me know you are a newsletter subscriber when you answer the entry questions and yer in. Hope to see you there! |
