The Game Cookbook

This is a landmark cookbook, combining both classic and contemporary recipes together with detailed information on the history, choosing and preparation of game, such as how to hang, pluck and roast. Game is experiencing a real revival. It is a healthy alternative to red meat, being naturally lean, low in cholesterol and high in protein. It is also usually organic or free range. Better still it is inexpensive and can be bought from most supermarkets as well as from the local butcher. Written by two passionate countryside campaigners, Clarissa Dickson-Wright and Johnny Scott (known for the BBC's Clarissa and the Countryman series as well as, of course, Clarissa's part in the BBC's Two Fat Ladies), this authoritative book will draw any food enthusiast into the kitchen. Anecdotes and information from Johnny Scott about the history and habitat of game make fascinating reading and demystify the world of preparing and cooking game. With over 140 easy-to-follow recipes from Red Wine Venison Burgers to Salmon Fishcakes made with Gnocchi you will be inspired by Clarissa Dickson Wright's flair and imagination time and time again.
