Description

"Buffalo Girl Cooks Bison" is an adventure cookbook about one food writer's never-ending supply of meat from her family's bison ranch and her quest to get to know these majestic animals and the people who raise them. With over 100 wildly delicious recipes, this comprehensive cookbook takes a fresh approach to North America's original red meat. Naturally lean and wildly delicious, bison has less fat and fewer calories than rival meats, plus more protein and iron, and it is high in omega-3 essential fatty acids. Topics covered include ground meat (think burgers and meatballs), steaks, roasts, ribs and shanks, and sausages. Mouthwatering full-color photographs accompany the recipes and make for a beautiful cookbook to be savored at every step. Hit the road with the Buffalo Girl to meet bison people in the field and take the cookbook home to learn the many delicious ways to enjoy North America's original red meat.

Reviews

"Reviewing the 100-plus recipes in this photo-rich 240-page book, it's clear that [Bain] has discovered delicious ways to cook [bison] ... she has smartly divided the book into user-friendly chapters dedicated to [specific cuts] and provides dishes for every season." -Times Colonist The Buffalo Girl provides some background on the animal that inspired her and shares a delicious recipe in a guest post for Slow Food USA. Jennifer Bain addresses the buffalo/bison name debate and how delicious it is, no matter what you call it, in a guest post for Slow Food in Canada. "Each palate pleasing, appetite satisfying bison meat recipe is thoroughly 'kitchen cook friendly.' A unique and original specialty cookbook, Buffalo Girl Cooks Bison will prove to be an enduringly popular addition to personal, professional, family, and community library cookbook collections." -Midwest Book Review The Toronto Star shared an excerpt and recipes from Buffalo Girl Cooks Bison. Metro Daily News featured the recipe for Karen's Flying D Chili, a favourite from Buffalo Girl Cooks Bison. The Test Kitchen at Canadian Living was inspired by Buffalo Girl Cooks Bison to try a few recipes. The Tallest Poppy's Pulled Bison "was very good, the flavour was similar to beef, but taken up a notch. Someone in the Test Kitchen even referred to it as 'a stampede of flavour.'" -Canadian Living (includes recipe) "A surprisingly diverse creation ... it is a cookbook, but it's also a compelling history text, and a selection of stories about bison." -The Edmonton Journal (includes recipe)
