Roasted Duck with Red Curry Paste
Use less curry if you don’t like heat. You can also add barley or a similar ingredient to thicken this dish. Serve with a crusty bread. And pair with Michael David Winery Seven Deadly Zins. You’ll thank me.
Read MoreDove, Mango and Bacon
Apparently, there are only two ways to cook doves in the U.S. You can either cook the snot out of them in a tomato or cream sauce or marinate them for an eternity and wrap them in jalapeno and bacon. Whatever it takes to make them taste less like doves. I’ve found that faster is…
Read MoreDeer Meatloaf with Herb Crust
This recipe works with any ground antlered game meat. Whether grinding it yourself or having it ground for you at the processor, make sure the meat is coarsely ground. The thicker the grind, the better the meatloaf. Ingredient measurements don’t have to be exact! Donny likes this one with “yeller” mustard.

This recipe calls for brandy – so I have to say this: CAUTION! WARNING! DANGER! Adding alcohol to a hot pan or anywhere near an open flame WILL cause the alcohol to ignite. Be very careful. Keep your face, curtains and anything you don’t want to set on fire away from the pan.

Read MoreDon Weston Memorial Deep Fried Rock Cod
How can not try this recipe when it uses cheese-its for the breading on the cod? Kids will especially go for this. Halibut and bass will also work great for this recipe. Add coleslaw and french fries and you have the perfect meal.
Read MoreWild Pig Enchiladas
In my opinion, the best way to cook wild pig or boar is by slow roasting or slow smoking over natural wood coals. Something about the flavor of seasoned smoky fall-off-the-bone pig just makes my mouth water. The smoking/roasting method takes a little time, but it’s well worth it. If you don’t have a smoker,…
