Cajun Cooking Class
10 May 2013
I will be teaching Cajun 101 at Whole Foods on Friday evening, May 10. Don’t know the difference between gumbo and etouffee? Jambalaya and sauce piquante? And just what is Cajun, and is it different from Creole?
We’ll make gumbo, dirty rice and maybe even crawfish pie.
Cost is $30, which includes PLENTY to eat!
Register for the class HERE.
PS – I will also have copies of “Hunt, Gather, Cook” available if anyone wants to buy one.

BlogHer Food 2013
7 June 2013
Austin, TX
Again, details are TBD here, but I do know that I will be leading a knife skills workshop. My goal: To give the blade-phobic a new lease on their cutlery. Sharp knives are your best friend, so long as you respect them. I will walk you through which knives are used for which reasons, as well as some basic knife skills every good home cook ought to know.

Butcher, Baker, Ice Cream Maker Workshop
7-14 July 2013
Zapata Ranch, CO
I’ll be leading classes on butchering, cooking and foraging for the ranch’s “Butcher, Baker, Ice Cream Maker week.” I will be joined by famous ice cream maker Kitty Travers of La Grotta Ices and expert baker William Werner of Craftsman and Wolves for a weeklong series of seminars and hands-on learning. I’ll be focusing on working with game birds, bison and pork, and will guest chef at least one of the nights — and sous chef when the others get their turn at the helm.
If you’ve never heard of Zapata Ranch, its a serious deal. More than 100,000 acres — and owned by The Nature Conservancy — it is a working ranch that also hosts this sort of events. Here’s the hitch: It ain’t cheap. It will cost $2,500 per person for the week, which includes meals, lodging, instruction and materials. I can promise great food and a great chance to learn some serious skills in a gorgeous setting.
Space is limited to 12 people. Interested? Email cowboy@Zranch.org for more details.
Im interested in summer of 2013 charter. Do you have dates available for when that may happen?
I am interested in a salmon charter for 2013. Please let me know when/if one will be available. Thank you.
My friend and I are interested in the charter. How long will we be out fishing?
Kevin: I will keep you posted. Salmon fishing is over until late spring 2013.
We would love to be contacted when the 2013 trip is in the works. Thanks!
Hey Hank
You should consider attending ‘Meat Off’ in Whitehorse, Yukon Canada. It is held annually on a Saturday night in Nov. (2013 date TBA) It’s a very small gathering of folks who have to make a wild game appie and pair it with a drink. The competition is fierce! We won last year with caribou sliders on brioche buns with bourbon vanilla bean milkshakes.
You have a lot of keen fans up here… and boy do we have a great selection of wild game for you to savour.
Cheers, Christine
Minnesota in February. I’m a Minnesotan and even I don’t want to be here in February. But, sounds like a fabulous talk. Looking forward to seeing you there.
Interested in the one in Austin. Please keep me posted. Also any in the Houston area that may come up.
Hank,
The registration for the event is password protected and doesn’t allow registration. Is there someone to contact concerning this or is the event full already?
Thanks,
Warren
Warren: I think that event might be only for food bloggers. I may do some other events in Austin that weekend, though. If I do, it will be up on this page.
We have made a huge outdoor cooking event, this event has gained national and international attention. It’s the World Champion Squirrel Cook Off, and the event is held in Bentonville Arkansas on September 7th of 2013. We are looking for Cooking teams and additional Judges, if you are interested please go to squirrelcookoff.com for more info.
The event is slated to have 100 teams of squirrel cookers and is a great place to try new things and meet new people. The event supports child charities and also promotes safe and responsible hunting.
Please join us.
Been trying to learn how to hunt for the last few years. I have passed the hunter training but still not quite sure I feel confident. Wondering if you have ever thought about doing a guided hunt/cooking class.
Mr. Shaw,
May possibly be interested in the clamming. I will get back to you in a couple of days, OK?

Hi Hank,
I am interested in the clamming expedition this April. Please put me down for two spots if still available.
Thanks,
Albert
My wife and I would like to join the Bodega Bay clamming expedition.
On a completely separate note, we were wondering whether we could get you to look over our back yard for edible flora. We’ve got a profusion of wild growth and we don’t know what most of the plants are. (We live in Lincoln, California, but I grew up in Florida and she grew up in Oklahoma.) Of course we’re willing to pay for your expertise.
Bummer that I missed out on the clamming/edible plant event. Any plan to do it again?
Hank, do you ever do any events in the Seattle area? We need you up here.
Howdy Sir, big fan of your wild game recipes. I ‘m interested in your Austin event and would love for you to consider a wild game cooking class…This is Texas
Please keep us posted…
