05 Oct Round Up: News and events from around the Northern Rockies

For years, Eileen Clarke, Montana cookbook author and co-creator of RiflesandRecipes.com, has been answering questions about game. “I had this goose,” someone might say at a party, “and it tasted terrible.” Or she might get an email asking why someone’s forked-horn deer tasted so bad. “Aside from the upfront game care … the solution is a bit of prep before cooking: marinades, brines, and rubs, in other words,” Clarke says. With more than 100 marinades, brines, and rubs, Tenderize the Wild covers upland birds, waterfowl, deer, elk, moose, caribou, antelope, bear, and even wild pig. Available November 1 at riflesandrecipes.com.
