Game recipes: cooking pheasant, venison, pigeon and more
What game recipes does ShootingUK cover?
The best reason to shoot well is eating well afterwards. Game meat is some of the finest produce in the British countryside — seasonal, wild, genuinely free-range — and it deserves to be cooked properly rather than nervously.
ShootingUK’s recipes cover the full bag: pheasant, partridge, grouse, woodcock, wild duck, pigeon, rabbit, hare and venison. Straightforward roasts and braises alongside more inventive ideas for the cuts and species that people aren’t always sure what to do with. Everything is written by people who shoot the quarry they cook.
Whether you’re dealing with a glut of pheasants in January, your first haunch of venison or a brace of woodcock you’d rather not waste, there’s something here — and none of it requires a professional kitchen or a pretentious attitude.
