Buffalo Cookbook: The Low Fat Solution to Eating Red Meat
Billed as a cookbook for health-conscious meat eaters, Johnston's collection of recipes is underscored by the fact that there is virtually no fat in buffalo meat. Large size and invitingly illustrated, her book offers an amazing array of dishes, some of which are complicated, "not every recipe is . . . designed to be a quick and easy family dinner." Many "utilize numerous and unusual herbs and spices," and preceeding the recipe presentation is an interesting discussion of the American buffalo's natural history and its traditional place and usage in Native American culture. For cookery collections serving an adventuresome readership.Brad Hooper
