how to butcher livestock and game how to butcher livestock and game
Paul Peacock

For the hunter-gatherer, butchering food was simply a matter of cutting to make the maximum use of an animal's edible flesh. It was not so much a skill as a necessity. Thankfully we no longer go, spear in hand, to track our food but our convenient, off- the-shelf way of life has removed us from the source of our food and, some would argue, our respect for it.Current trends for local food and a more self-sufficient lifestyle have prompted a desire to restore these traditional skills back to the prominence they once enjoyed in the nation's kitchens.
New landowners who now account for some 47 per cent of newcomers to the countryside, are also in need of these long lost skills as they try to maximise their earnings from their herds and flocks. 160pp

the game cook the game cook
Norman Tebbit

In recent years, Britain's attitude to food has changed. In a world that is becoming more eco-aware, 'organic' and 'corn fed' meat is gaining popularity at the expense of immoral, processed food. And yet strangely, 'game' - strictly speaking any bird or animal living wild, which is hunted for food - remains on the fringes on many people's diet.
Many people would rather pay twice the price at a supermarket for a comparatively tasteless chicken. Tebbit, a keen amateur chef, uses The Game Cook to showcase his favourite game recipes featuring pheasant, partridge, duck, grouse, woodpigeon, woodcock, deer, rabbit, hare and more. Whether the recipe is a relatively simple casserole or a more challenging creation such as pheasant with apples and cream or rabbit with white wine and mushroom, Tebbit's easy to follow style will guarantee consistent results.
The book also includes a concise guide to game, advice on kitchen equipment, handy conversion charts and individual hints on the various game included. The Game Cook is a mouth-watering morsel for eco-cooks, traditional food-lovers and those who are looking for some money-saving ways to provide tasty, wholesome meat dishes to the family. 176pp hardback

game: a cookery book game: a cookery book
Tom Norrington Davis & Trish Hilferty

Two of the best food writers working today tackle a subject that has been in need of a definitive and fresh guide for many years. "Game: The Cookbook" features game in all its forms - furred, feathered and fish - and will surely establish itself as the new benchmark on the subject. In this book, the authors share a knowledge on game cooking that is unrivalled in print form.
They show how game offers many wonderful and affordable choices for the home cook and just how easy it is to source, prepare and cook - something that precious few people seem to realise. They set out to completely demystify their subject and offer expert advice on how to joint, prepare, cook and enjoy every possible aspect of the foods that are hunted from the lands, skies and waters of Britain. Written with extreme clarity, insight and passion, and divided into chapters on 'four legs', 'two legs' and 'no legs', this book really does explore every possible part of the world of game that you could ever wish to know.
It is a true tour de force from a writing team at the height of their powers. Fully illustrated throughout, Jason Lowe's stunning photography is fittingly all-encompassing and informative. 256pp
