Harold Webster says, “First I am a sportsman
who enjoys the out-of-doors and then I am a chef. When I go hunting and fishing, I am going to the market for the best that
nature has to offer.”
Harold is an award winning author, professional recreation educator and he has
hunted, fished, and cooked across the United States and overseas. He has traveled and explored the world, and along the way,
he has sampled, enjoyed and gained an appreciation for the many ways that venison and other wild game and fish are cooked.
He has feasted on wild boar with high chiefs in the mountain forests of Pago Pago, dined on local venison with
Lacadone Indians in the steamy jungles of Quintana Roo, savored Riso Niro on Napoleon’s island of Elba, enjoyed smoked
Prosciutto in the beautiful city of Florence, was taught to roll sushi in Tokyo, and learned the fine art of making venison
and crab boudin in Dominic You’s Barataria.
Webster has authored three cookbooks: best-selling The
Complete Venison Cookbook (Quail Ridge Press), The Venison Sausage Cookbook (Lyons Press) and award winning Game for All Seasons
Cookbook (Great American Publishing).
In 2007, Game for all Seasons won the USA Book News Best Book Award
and in 1997 and The Complete Venison Cook was nominated for the Mississippi Library Association Best Non-Fiction Book of the
Year award. In 2003, Harold’s recipe for Tuscan-Style Venison Osso Buco was selected as one of the four international
winners of the prestigious Saveur magazine -- Antinori Winery Cooking Contest.
Harold's publications
have been critically reviewed by major magazines and journals such as "Southern Living," "Progressive Farmer,"
"Muzzle Blasts," and North American, British, and New Zealand Deer Farmers Associations. He has appeared on the
QVC electronic retailer network, and numerous national radio and television talk shows around the country.
He teaches game, fowl and fish cooking classes at the university and local levels in both the United States and overseas
and he is often a featured guest chef. A graduate of the University of Arkansas in Recreation Education and a veteran of the
United States Marine Corps., he and his wife live at “Oak Grove” outside Cooper’s Well, Mississippi. Harold
comes from a family of early settlers who have been living, hunting, and cooking wild game, fish and fowl in Mississippi since
before 1792. |
