A hardcore compilation of more than 100 tested recipes from around the world.

The jerky world has undergone a major revival in the last five years in terms of experimentation, products, popularity, and just plain good eating. In All Things Jerky. we find a collection of some of the best tried and tested recipes from around the world, including instructions for all the equipment, gear, and recipes you'll need to make jerky at home. While authors Andy Lightbody and Kathy Mattoon are accomplished hunters, this book is not a hunting or fishing how-to. Instead, it is the culmination of their last forty years spent sampling jerky and dried snacks around the world while traveling, hunting, fishing, and writing. These flavor-packed recipes are perfect for sharing with the entire family.

These recipes are designed for everyone, from supermarket moms who purchase their meats, fruits, and vegetables on a weekly basis to the avid outdoorsman who hunts and fishes for most everything found in his freezer. In addition to these protein-laden recipes is a host of fruit, vegetable, and nut offerings sure to please even the pickiest of eaters.
