Changing the Game is intended to provide the do-it-yourself sportsman with detailed guidance and proven, time-tested techniques that will optimize the enjoyment of his or her harvest, taking it from field to fork, and for home cooks who are hunting for new ways to up their food game. Author Craig Tomsky grew up in a traditional Italian household in Northern New Jersey, where he was accustomed to good food-really good food. He has coupled his uncompromising love of such fare with his passion for hunting for more than 30 years, and has identified key factors that will reduce and, in most cases, eliminate the undesirable "gamey" flavors that all too often result from inadequately processed and prepared game. He has also developed and refined with his personal flair many recipes from family and friends over the years to not only complement each game's most desirable flavors, but to help you truly transform your game meat into delicious finished dishes. Changing the Game is a total playbook that takes the reader from caring for the game after the harvest through Craig's "keys to changing the game"-specific techniques used during the butchering and preservation processes that will positively impact the flavor and tenderness of the meat. It also lays out a roadmap and recommends equipment the reader can use to expediently and efficiently process various types of game meat. Explanations that support the findings and preparation techniques are provided in relatable layman's terms via anecdotes that are sprinkled throughout the book.Changing the Game finishes with a multitude of delicious recipes-some new, many traditional-that reflect the many cultures that make up this great country of ours. They have been enhanced by game meat as well as Craig's selection and use of complementary ingredients to achieve complex yet delicate flavor profiles for each dish. Changing the Game also contains recipes for side dishes and desserts, along with wine pairing recommendations, to provide the reader with a complete game plan for an enjoyable evening that will leave your dinner guests asking, "Is this really wild game?"
Alaska's Wild Gourmet is told through mouth-watering recipes and edge of your seat stories that begin on the darkest night of Sherri's soul with the suicide of her husband, Walt. In horror and in grief, she begins a nomadic journey around the world, mending the shattered pieces of her life, and birthing her culinary vision. Sherri Ewing-Rahmanop is a vibrating force of energy, tempered with purpose and love. Sherri's self- taught culinary journey began at the tender age of eight, and rose to a pinnacle of success when her extreme catering business was featured on National Geographic and The Outdoor Channel. Her family business served upscale meals, in pristine outdoor settings, throughout remote Alaska. Alaska's Wild Gourmet was born from her twenty years of journaling, and began as a cookbook to leave as a legacy to her children. During filming, tragedy imploded Sherri's world with the soul wounding suicide of her husband. She took her culinary vision on a healing journey around the world and finally in Mercy, her 24ft Mercedes RV. Her vision of connecting people through her food was birthed with her "HallelujahHollerBack" program where she asks guests to forage and donate ingredients for a coveted seat at her table. Sherri's journey is filled with incredible adventure and freedom today. She has found her own souls' expression with a unique soul-print unlike any other person. Today you can find Sherri in random RV resorts throughout America, teaching cooking courses, or donating her services to people that resonate with her soul food journey. She calls people in with her servant's heart and from the abundance that her life personifies. Sherri has opened her spirit to sharing her gifts, through speaking, to people who feel the same warrior calling. She speaks in churches, in support groups, at campfires, or any place that she happens to coddiwomple. www.AlaskasWildGourmet.com "I am on a conscious journey of adventure, basking in an amazing experience.
