Lake Whitefish with Lemon and Herbs

Fish are highly perishable and need to be chilled to prevent spoilage . Fowl needs to be kept cool before being dressed . Wild game needs to be field dressed and have their hides removed to cool the carcass . Sue usually creates a whole year ’ s worth of recipes for her column during one weekend , which features a food fest . Unlike Sue , I create my recipes whenever I ’ ve got fresh fish , wildfowl , and game , when they taste best . Timing is everything , so I bank recipes up to two years ahead of publication and submit them according to the season . A recipe for barbecued
venison won ’ t cut it in January — that ’ s when you need a comfort food recipe for baked or poached fish , a casserole , chili , pot roast , or stew . I ’ ve also learned how to take professional-quality photos of my dishes , which require unique exposures and composition .
I ’ ve had to research most recipes but also get some from friends and relatives . Not everyone , however , will share family recipes . I find that the internet is a great source of recipe ideas along with newspapers , magazines , and cookbooks — hundreds of which are published in Canada each year . If a recipe is too complicated , most people will say “ Forget it , that ’ s too much trouble to make .” I ’ ve always kept my recipes simple , timely , and varied . All of them have been tested ( some several times ) to get them right — and none are bogus . So , who said you can ’ t teach an old dog new tricks ?
