New! Now with 270 award winning recipes. Scott Leysath has served as official chef for Ducks Unlimited, the California Waterfowl Association, and other state waterfowl associations. He currently has more than one TV show including a very popular show titled, "HuntFishCook." (For current shows check with sportingchef.com.) His reputation is world-wide. This softcover version of his very popular hardbound edition has been updated with many new recipes. One of his favorite quotes is, "The nutritional benefits of wild and farm-raised game are superior to commercialy-raised beef, pork and poultry. Game is usually seven to ten times lower in fat and cholesterol than comparable cuts of domestic meats. Wild game is truly free ranging and devoid of antibiotics, steroids and hormones. Properly prepared game dishes will tantalize the sense with rich, intense flavors not found in even the finest quality beef steaks and roasts."
Accomplished Restaurateur, Chef, Author and Personality
Experience ranges form corporate management of a chain of Western US restaurants to owning his own popular restaurant and catering enterprises in Sacramento, California. In addition to offering sensational domestic wild game dishes on his menus, Scott prepared irresistible entrees for customers who would bring their game to the restaurant to learn how to do it the right way.
His cookbook is in its third printing and continues to receive rave reviews across the country. Scott also hosted two nationally-distributed cooking videos and can be seen and heard regularly on several radio and television programs. He spent four years on both sides of the camera on HGTV's 'Home Grown Cooking' with Paul James. When not cooking with the show's host or offering insightful cooking tips on camera, Scott served as Executive Chef behind-the-sceens.
Scott has found his niche in gourmet fish and game cooking and has become the premier authority on the subject.
