SSAA’s Cooks Companion

Weekly Times online, Friday, April 24, 2009

When the Sporting Shooters’ Association of Australia releases a cookbook, you’d expect the contents to be in the shoot-it-and-eat-it style.
With rabbit, goat, kangaroo and duck on the contents pages, there is obviously a bias towards game meat.
However, the Cooks Companion is a little more sophisticated.
Eight chapters, including one on seafood and another on camp extras, include such tempting and quirky dishes as goat jalfrezi, a mild curry, chilli barbecue quail and Alf’s jungle muffins.
In many ways the book is also a recognition of the growing self-sufficiency trend.
When Country Living’s Miranda column recently wrote a story about killing rabbits for a meal, the feedback was impressive, with many calling for rabbit to be put back on the menu.
All recipes in the 125-page spiral bound book have been submitted by SSAA members and include appetising photos.
Cooks Companion, by the Sporting Shooters Association of Australia. Self-published, RRP $29.95.
