It’s officially August and that can only mean one thing;
The return of the great Shooting Season.
With the first full week of the season out the way, preparations have long been in full swing amongst the team to ensure we have the season possible.
And while our excitement to return to the beloved Field is undeniable, the enjoyment also and often extends off the field and into the kitchen for many of us, where the reward of a day spent out in the elements really comes to fore.
Robust and distinguished flavours are at the heart of cooking game, with favourites such as duck, partridge, woodcock, pheasant, and Mr. Grouse, to name but a few, all being smartly dressed up to newly invigorate your taste buds season upon season.
So, in celebration of the Season's return, we thought it would be rather lovely to share with you some of our favourite recipes, curated by some of the wisest in the Game*.
Take a look below...
