Cooking Wild ( www.cookingwildmagazine.com) This quarterly (whose tagline is "Hunt, Fish, Forage, Feast") helps readers cook the foods that they've harvested themselves, with mouthwatering recipes for everything from steelhead salmon sushi to wild turkey carnitas.

Each issue boasts a cheesy centerfold, plus profiles of cheese makers and mongers, instructions for crafting your own cheese, and recipes for dishes like baked razor clams with Parmesan and ricotta pancakes.

You can expect to find honest discussion about the ethics as well as the delicious rewards of life as a carnivore.
