Over the course of one unforgettable year, he steadily procures his ingredients--fishing for stingrays in Florida, hunting mountain goats in Alaska, flying to Michigan to obtain a fifteen-pound snapping turtle--and encountering one colorful character after another. And as he introduces his vegetarian girlfriend to a huntsman's lifestyle, Rinella must also come to terms with the loss of his lifelong mentor--his father. An absorbing account of one man's relationship with family, friends, food, and the natural world, The Scavenger's Guide to Haute Cuisine is a rollicking tale of the American wild and its spoils. Review: 5 out of 5 - Rinellas captivating writing style had me hooked again and I was unable to put down this book. The only downside is that I wont be able to read it for the first time again. Review: I absolutely loved this book - I absolutely loved this book. I am a fan of all of Steve Rinella's work, but this, in particular, I found captivating. I love hunting, fishing, cooking, and the curiosity and adventure of eating unconventional foods and wildlife that are not culturally "normal". Steve does a great job of presenting all of these things and pulls them together to tell a great story of a beautiful feast and the work and care that it required to materialize. As this indulges in wild food gathering and food preparation alike, it leans more toward the preparation of the meal and would be a great read for the adventurous chef. I found this book inspiring and mouth watering. I love the respect and reverence Steve shows for nature and wildlife down to the care of the ingredients, the preparation of the meals that they become, the consumption of the meal, and all the joy that comes with going through the process and sharing the experience with friends. The Scavenger's Guide immediately jumped up to my top 5 books list and I will be reading it again very soon. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | 1,285,580 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) 463 in Outdoor Cooking (Books) 796 in Hunting (Books) 1,723 in Meat, Poultry & Game (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 out of 5 stars 787 Reviews | ## Images ![The Scavenger's Guide to Haute Cuisine: How I Spent a Year in the American Wild to Re-Create a Feast from the Classic Recipes of French Master Chef Auguste Escoffier - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61HTMyrzCXL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5 out of 5 *by M***R on 1 December 2018* Rinellas captivating writing style had me hooked again and I was unable to put down this book.

I genuinely wanted to learn a little more about wild game meat and what is out there to eat so I went in happily. Within the first few pages, I realized that I was not going to get some tips on cooking dove breasts, but by then I didn't care. Its an incredible story about how Steve followed a plan to hunt, catch, find, steal and nurture a menu that would leave some of the strongest stomachs out there feeling a little queezy. The chapters are engaging, so interesting, and sometimes unbelieveable. What he achieves in both the story-telling and the end-product of his adventures left me wanting more. This book led me to read his other books (including his complete guides, cover to cover), listen to his MeatEater podcasts (Janis needs more airtime!!), and look at my hunting trips in a completely different light. ## Frequently Bought Together - The Scavenger's Guide to Haute Cuisine: How I Spent a Year in the American Wild to Re-create a Feast from the Classic Recipes of French Master Chef Auguste Escoffier - American Buffalo: In Search of a Lost Icon - Meat Eater: Adventures from the Life of an American Hunter --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/51085734-the-scavengers-guide-to-haute-cuisine-how-i-spent-year](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/51085734-the-scavengers-guide-to-haute-cuisine-how-i-spent-year) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-11-10*
