Game is the taste of the nation
Deer stalker and game cook Anne Ruxton took the tv cookery world by storm by reaching the final of ITV's Taste the Nation show. The programme featured regional teams of amateur cooks, who created their own dishes under the guidance of a celebrity chef mentor, and pitched them against other teams' dishes in the competition.
Chefs are game to cook and Game-to-Eat
A successful workshop held at Westminster Kingsway College was organised by Game-to-Eat and Sodexo recently. The event provided 14 keen chefs with inspiration to include game on their menus.

Autumn is one of the best times of year to enjoy delicious, seasonal foods and top of the list should be British wild game. From September onwards, as the new game season begins, you will find a wide range of convenience cuts of pheasants, partridge and venison in local high street butchers, estate farm shops and most supermarkets, so there is no excuse not to include game as part of your regular weekly menu. Game makes an excellent choice if you want to impress your guests with something a bit special and it’s really healthy. Venison is high in protein and iron and low in saturated fatty acids while pheasant and partridge also contains a high level or iron, protein, Vitamin B(6) and selenium, which helps to protect cells from damage caused by free radicals.
Chefs are game to cook and Game-to-Eat 2009
Game was top of the menu when chefs from Sodexo’s education, defence, Director’s Table and corporate services gathered together at Westminster Kingsway Catering College to learn more about British wild game. The event, organised by Game-to-Eat and Sodexo, gave 12 keen chefs the opportunity to get hands on with cooking venison, pheasant and partridge, with the aim of inspiring chefs to experiment with game.
Second bite for Malton’s Food Lovers
The finest seasonal produce fresh from the autumn larder takes centre stage at Malton’s Autumn Food Lover's Festival. Following the success of the original festival in May, the town is to hold a further event to celebrate all its wonderful food and shopping it has to offer going into the end of the year. The Food Lovers Cookery Theatre will be centre stage with local Michelin starred chef Andrew Pern, from the acclaimed Harome gastro pub The Star, returning with autumnal recipes, demonstrations and tastings to tempt the inner gourmet in everyone.

Host gives game a go!
Earlier in the year, Game-to-Eat sponsored a game cookery workshop at Kent College with a team of chefs from the Host Catering community. The chefs were shown different cuts of game and learnt how to cook and present it. Then groups of two were set the task to create a starter and main course in just one hour 15 minutes for judging by the tutor. Winners Lee Joliffe and Steve Lilly showed fantastic skill with their dishes, which will hopefully encourage more caterers to try putting game on their menus.
