Venison Loin with a Red Wine and Juniper Sauce Served with Roasted Carrots and Parsnips
This was a treat. I didn’t get into game until later on in life, but I love it now. Venison is my favourite and this has a much deeper flavour than fillet steak though I do love that too. To make it really comforting and wintery I served it with roasted vegetables and a rich…
Venison and Black Pudding Burgers
I love venison and I love black pudding so this burger was born. As venison is so lean it needs some kind of fat added to it so I used the spiced black pudding. Juniper is a match made in heaven for venison it reminds me of a fragrant pepper. I also added extra pepper…
Black Bean Duck, Cabbage and Pepper Stir fry
Stir fry’s are so good for a really quick dinner and using up bits of veg in the fridge. I don’t think the sauce is set in stone either. I think you just need a base then you can taste and adjust to your liking. Ingredients Directions
Five Spice Pigeon Breast on a Asian Herb Salad tossed in a Hoisin Dressing
I’m starting to come to the end of my frozen game meat. As the pigeon breasts are quite small they make a really good salad. As the pigeon has a slightly strong flavour it can take on some spice. The soft flesh works so well with the crispy lettuce and herbs. The hoisin dressing finishes…

Braised Beetroot Lentils with Pan Fried Pheasant Breasts and Goats Cheese
I love the earthy notes of beetroot and lentils. This recipe gives the lentils a lovely colour and the pheasant works beautifully with those earthy notes and the goats cheese adds a lovely creamy element. I’m coming to the end of my game stash in the freezer so I need to get these recipes on…
Herb and Honey Marinated Duck Breast on a Summer Medley of Vegetables
I usually associate duck breast with asian flavours nut I fancied something different. I also had a load of vegetables in the garden so it helped used them up and I’m trying to cut down on carbs. This was a tasty and healthy little number. Ingredients (serves 2) For the duck 2 duck breast 2…
Pheasant and Sweet Potato Hash with Pickled Red Cabbage Recipe
So we went to river cottage cafe a few weeks ago and Paulie had a pheasant hash there which tasted delicious. I was watching Saturday kitchen best bites and saw James Atherton poach a crown of pheasant before roasting it to keep it moist. What a great idea for both! So this recipe was born…
Five Spice Pan Fried Duck Breast with Shitake Mushroom, Aubergine, Fresh Tomato and Oyster Sauce Stir Fry Recipe
I do love comfort food. This is one of those recipes we make again and again as it is so tasty. We first saw the original recipe a few years a go on a John Torode’s programme but have adapted it to our liking. You get the fragrant duck with the most amazing crispy skin…
