Buffalo Girl Cooks Bison

Buffalo Girl Cooks Bison is our second collaboration with the award-winning writer Jennifer Bain. We first teamed up with her to shoot the Toronto Star Cookbook a couple years ago. For her latest book, we turn our attention to,"North America's original red meat." Here's an interesting little tidbit about bison. "An undomesticated species, Bison are ethically raised and primarily grass fed. The result is a meat higher in protein and lower in fat than beef. It's also very high in iron and omega-3 fatty acids." This book features more than 100 bison recipes. Here are a few of the shots we did for the book.

Toronto Star Cookbook

Toronto_Star_Cookook_07.jpg

Jennifer Bain's Toronto Star Cookbook hits the shelves this week. We shot this project in studio last April. It's funny how you kind of forget about the work for a while and then it comes back to life with the release of the book a year later.

With recipes ranging from Brazilian fish stew, to bimbimpbap to beef kaftas to grilled cheese sandwiches, this cookbook is definitely the most eclectic selection of recipes i've ever shot.

The Toronto Star Cookbook includes recipes from the province's chefs, farmers, home cooks, food writers, store owners and many others. Inside are recipes from more than two dozen cultures, reflecting the province's rich multicultural food scene, as well as many Canadian classics. Jennifer selected and personally tested every one of the book's recipes, most of which have been featured in the Star since she took over the food beat in 2000. Also included are 25 READERS' CHOICE recipes, chosen by Star readers as their favourites of all time.
