For anyone who likes their food on the wild side, the Maryland Department of Natural Resources has published a new online cookbook. <\/span>Wild Maryland<\/span><\/i><\/a> includes recipes submitted by Maryland residents and featuring the state\u2019s waterfowl, seafood, deer, and other wild game that can be hunted, trapped, or caught. The book also includes a section of recipes that features ingredients found while foraging in the wild.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Fall is an ideal time for planning a wild feast, as it’s one of the most active times for Maryland\u2019s fishing and hunting seasons – <\/span>fat crabs<\/span><\/a> and <\/span>stocked trout<\/span><\/a> are for the taking in our waters; while <\/span>deer archery<\/span><\/a>, <\/span>migratory game bird<\/span><\/a>, and <\/span>small game seasons<\/span><\/a> are ongoing,\u00a0 and <\/span>deer muzzleloader<\/span><\/a> and <\/span>fall wild turkey<\/span><\/a> seasons begin in late October.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cMaryland is home to many proud hunters, anglers, and wild foragers and we are also well known for our great cuisine,\u201d said Secretary Jeannie Haddaway-Riccio. \u201c<\/span>Wild Maryland <\/span><\/i>showcases our heritage, our way of life, and our cooking traditions through recipes that can be shared and passed down for generations to come.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

The department put out the initial call for recipe submissions in the spring of 2020, and about 75 recipes were evaluated by a team of seven <\/span>cookbook panelists<\/span><\/a> who are subsistence hunters, anglers, or just wild game\/fish cooking enthusiasts. Criteria for inclusion in the cook book were the use of species that call Maryland home, easy to follow cooking instructions, and specific measurements for ingredients.<\/span><\/p>\n

Using the <\/span>Wild Maryland<\/span><\/i> website, recipes can be searched by species category. In addition, a special resources section is included with tips for wild foraging, directions for fileting a fish, a link to DNR\u2019s guides to <\/span>Hunting and Trapping<\/span><\/a> and <\/span>Fishing and Crabbing<\/span><\/a>, and more. The department has also launched a <\/span>Pinterest page<\/span><\/a>, where users can pin recipes to their boards and share them with other Pinterest users.<\/span><\/p>\n

Submissions will continue to be accepted. Anyone interested can send their recipes to <\/span>Recipes.DNR@maryland.gov<\/span><\/a>. Entries received may be published in a future edition of <\/span>Wild Maryland<\/span><\/i>.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
