A hybrid of memoir, cookbook, and travelogue, and a love song to hunting and fishing and the American wild, The Scavenger�s Guide to Haute Cuisine is about one man�s quest to live off the land and recreate the recipes from Escoffier�s Le Guide Culinaire, the 1903 magnum opus. Nature writer Steven Rinella embarks on a yearlong journey across America, trying to locate the bizarre, often esoteric ingredient of Le Guide Culinaire. His adventures take him fishing for stingrays on a Florida beach; skinning eels with an upstate New Yorker who keeps an emu as company; and hunting mountain goats on the snow-covered cliffs of Alaska�s Chugach Range. Praised by reviewers for its lyrical prose and humor, The Scavenger�s Guide to Haute Cuisine is a narrative that opens up a deeper understanding of the things we eat and our place in the natural world.
