The Fish and Game Cookbook turns New Zealand wild fare into practical, interesting meals without making the process feel complicated. Chef Angelo Georgalli and Fish & Game New Zealand have combined more than 200 pages of recipes, sauces, rubs, preparation tips, and cooking techniques in a collection that suits both first-time wild food cooks and people looking for fresh ideas.

The range is broad, covering freshwater fish, waterfowl, and game birds, including duck, black swan, pukeko, and perch. Georgalli's Mediterranean influence comes through in recipes that respect the ingredient while giving familiar outdoor food a more considered finish. Detailed articles and photography help explain the methods and make the book easy to work through at home.

Georgalli is also the author of The Game Chef and Angelo's Wild Kitchen. Based in Kingston, Otago, he brings together his experience as a chef with a strong connection to fishing and the outdoors. The book was named Best Game Book at the Gourmand Awards 2023, adding international recognition to a distinctly New Zealand collection.

A worthwhile reference for anyone who wants more confidence, variety, and creativity when cooking wild food.
