Game birds have always held a high place at the table, whether it’s a hunter’s prize of roast grouse or the turkey we all eat at Thanksgiving. Pheasants, quail, rabbits, doves, grouse and more – these are singular species with grand culinary traditions that offer the cook an unmatched range of flavors.

Pheasant, Quail, Cottontail shows you how to cook small game like a pro: perfectly crisp skin over tender breast meat, melt-in-your-mouth braises, barbecue, stews, sausages, and more.

Being in the outdoors and hunting my own food is a big part of my life. Hank Shaw has written yet another superb book sharing that same passion, this time for upland birds and small game. The learning is deep, the recipes are superb, and next to being in the field with Hank and Holly (whose superb photos grace nearly every page), this is the best way to enjoy a long walk looking for a great meal. If you love food — real food — this book belongs in your kitchen.

- Andrew Zimmern, hunter, chef, author, and host of Travel Channel's "Bizarre Foods"

Hank writes with a passion for game that few other writers can approach. Pheasant, Quail, Cottontail is a joy to read and cook from. It is entertaining, well organized and crazy smart — the new gold standard for small game cookery.

- John Currence, quail hunter and James Beard Award winning chef of City Grocery in Oxford, MS

Americans have devoted an extraordinary amount of time, money and hard work preserving the habitat of upland game birds. Now, in Pheasant, Quail, Cottontail, Hank Shaw has matched this zeal, carrying our organization’s habitat mission and passion for these autumn harvests from the field onto the plate.

- Howard K. Vincent, president and CEO of Quail Forever and Pheasants Forever

I have long been a fan of Hank Shaw. His cookbooks are invariably information rich and chock full of fantastic recipes. His newest book, Pheasant, Quail, Cottontail, does not disappoint, From field preparation tips to unique recipes for a large variety of species, this book is a must have for any bird and small game hunter. I for one am looking forward to getting it on my kitchen shelf! Thank you for knocking it out of the park, Hank Shaw!

- Kirstie Pike, grouse hunter and founder of Prois Hunting Apparel for Women

Hi, my name is Hank Shaw; I’m a James Beard Award-winning author and chef. I started this site back in 2007 to help you get the most out of all things wild: fish, game, edible wild plants and mushrooms. I also write cookbooks, have a website dedicated to the intersection of food and nature, and do a podcast, too. If it’s wild, you’ll find it here. Hope you enjoy the site!
