ISO recipes for cookbook

Camp cooks, the Pennsylvania Game Commission is looking for receipies.

Wild-game recipes are being collected and considered for inclusion in a new edition of the Pennsylvania Game Cookbook. Last printed in 1979, the cookbook is being brought back by popular demand, said Lori Mitchell, who heads up the Game Commission's Public Information and Media Services Division."Quite often we get phone calls and letters from people asking if we still sell our cookbook," Mitchell said. "Some of them are looking to replace a well-worn copy, and others might be looking to pick one up for a gift."As more years pass there seems to be more and more interest. So we decided to bring back the cookbook, and make it better than ever."To that end, the PGC is looking for a heaping of help from all the camp cooks out there. Whether fired on a spit, browned in a pan or charred on the grill, the PGC is interested in any big-game, small-game and migratory-bird recipes.Submissions must be received by June 30, and all submissions should include the recipe title, the ingredients and measurements, preparation instructions, the number of servings, and the name or initials of the person submitting the recipe, as well as their hometown.
