Learn to “Cook Like a Wild Woman”

LEARN TO “COOK LIKE A WILD WOMAN”
Registration for Becoming an Outdoors-Woman Cooking Workshop Starts June 15

Do you wish you could turn that venison, grouse, fish fillet or basket of berries into a delicious wild dinner? You’ll know just what to do with those wonderful wild foods after taking the new Becoming an Outdoors-Woman workshop called “Cook Like a Wild Woman” being offered August 22 – 23, 2009, at the New Hampshire Fish and Game Department’s Barry Conservation Camp in Berlin, N.H.

Come enjoy a fun, educational, relaxed weekend exploring wild ways to cook – no experience necessary! Participants will learn proper techniques of wild game and fish care and cooking, identifying edible wild plants, and foraging for and harvesting wild vegetables and berries. The weekend will incorporate hands-on preparation of luscious wild delicacies and cooking methods for a variety of wild game and fish. Participants will prepare their own Saturday evening dinner and Sunday morning brunch using wild ingredients. Recipes and menu planning will be included. This is not a vegetarian weekend!

The workshop costs $60, which includes all meals, lodging (rustic cabins, cots), instruction, recipes, menu planning and cooking materials.
