The eagerly anticipated new cookbook with 100+ recipes from the #1 New York Times bestselling author of The MeatEater Fish and Game Cookbook. 

In his previous books, outdoorsman and hunter Steven Rinella brought wild game into the kitchen, teaching readers how to butcher and cook wild fish and game to create standout dishes with reliable results. Now, Rinella is hauling the kitchen outdoors, with a cookbook that celebrates the possibilities of open-air wild game cooking. Because food just tastes better when it’s caught, cooked, and eaten outside.  

Each chapter covers a different outdoor cooking method—grilling, smoking, cooking over coals. Throughout, recipes are tagged for backyard cooking, car camping, or backpacking. There’s something here for everyone who loves the outdoors, from backyard grill masters to backcountry big game hunters. 


The over 100 easy-to-follow recipes include:

• Stuffed Game Burgers 3 Ways
• Bulgogi Backstrap Lettuce Wraps
• Beaver Thigh Confit
• Grilled Lobster with Kelp Butter
• Bear Grease Biscuits
• Coal Roasted Bananas

Along with recipes, Rinella explains essential outdoor cooking techniques like how to build the perfect outdoor kitchen for any scenario and what it takes to maintain a fire. With preparations ranging from simple backcountry chow to guest-worthy showstoppers, The MeatEater Outdoor Cookbook is the essential companion for anyone who wants to eat well in the wild.
