Welcome to an adventure in dining from the wilds of North America! With his new cookbook, A Taste of Something Wild, Richard Gauerke will take you on a journey to prove the feast completes the adventure. Gauerke is a hunter, fisherman and popular camp cook whose philosophy on cooking wild game is straightforward: Keep it as simple as possible to maintain the flavor and integrity of your harvest.
A Taste of Something Wild is filled with sumptuous recipes for fish, waterfowl, big game, and upland game as well as general tips for field care and processing. As a special treat, Richard includes his grandfather's venison sausage recipe which is as good as it gets. "There are certain family traditions which need to be passed on through the generations, and it gives me great delight to be a part of that tradition with my new book."
So, you see, this book is more than just recipes for great eating. It’s about family, friends, hunting buddies sharing a campfire, and a taste of rye. It's about fishing buddies sharing a shore lunch, and the exhilaration watching a grandchild catch a first fish. It's about the smiles of satisfaction after a great meal. The feast truly does complete the adventure.
Once you get a taste of the recipes available on this web site, you'll be chomping at the bit to complete your own feast.

"Thank you for breaking from tradition and giving us some tasty alternative ways to prepare walleyes. My family loves deep fried but too much of a good thing will kill you. I especially love the walleye and wild rice stir fry and the zucchini baked walleye."
M Cooke, Appleton Wisconsin
"I can’t believe I’m eating salmon and loving it. You’ve made a believer out of me with your grilled salmon and mango salsa".
George Westphal, Sitka Alaska"The pheasant pate is absolutely delicious. After preparing it and tasting it, I can’t stop and end up making a meal out of it."
