I was hesitant to say the least when I undertook an attempt at a wild game carbonara. Carbonara has a cult following, and if you stray from tradition, you might be left swimming with the fishes. I also realize that the average hunter, or human probably won’t have a cured bear cheek at the ready….

Bullfrogs are not on the radar for most Americans as  table fare. Slimy, warty, swampy all being associated with these prolific amphibians.

Donuts are amazing, while there is much more to say about them, we can all agree on that. If you are looking for a way to one-up your next donut experience, you should try your hand at making them. Moreover, if you are looking to go above and beyond, try filling them with wild berries….

One of the sure signs of spring is the blooming of all sorts of flowers. It seems in recent years blossoms have become  sought after pickings for the table.
