Venison

Venison is experiencing an unprecedented growth in popularity with the British public as a delicious, healthy and increasingly available dish. Here are over 50 recipes from Head chef/Lecturer in Culinary Arts at Westminster Kingsway College, Jose Souto, the game expert who gives masterclasses to other chefs worldwide, as well as teaching a new generation of student chefs how to cook venison.

Jose has added to his own repertoire of 30 dishes by inviting guest chefs to add their own favourite venison recipes to this book, opening up a wide range of dishes, from simple venison lasagne to elegant dinner-party show-stoppers. Not just a cookery book, this is a celebration of deer: in stunning pictures, world-renowned photographer Steve Lee showcases British deer, deer-stalking and the delight in harvesting nature s bounty, with a breath-taking array of shots.
