2009 Game to Eat Recipe Book

Mark Hix has prepared all the six recipes in the 200 Game to Eat Recipe Book which are taken taken from his latest cookbook British Seasonal Food.
Introducing the 2009 Game-to-Eat recipe booklet, Mark says:
“Game is the perfect example of seasonal food at its best. Although, rather like fish, game often scares the hell out of the general public because we are sometimes just not quite sure what to do with it.”
“My approach is to do very little with it.”
“Game birds are more often than not overcooked, so people think they are dry which is not the case when cooking guidelines are followed. People are often surprised when I tell them a partridge should only be in a hot oven for about 12 minutes. It also still amazes me why butchers put bacon on delicately flavoured game birds. Surely you want to taste the bird and not bacon, and, what’s more, the salt in the bacon will draw the moisture out of the bird!”
