Fifty mouth-watering recipes are accompanied by Steve Lee’s breathtaking photographs. … a book that would be just as at home on the coffee table as the kitchen counter. Dishes from simple venison lasagne to elegant dinner party show-stoppers.

* Rifle Shooter Magazine *

The author of this book is something of an authority on venison, having given regular masterclasses on the subject as well as lecturing on cooking in general. In addition to the cookery sections there are fascinating chapters on smoking venison and getting your deer from hill to table. Steve Lee’s evocative photographs are an excellent reminder of the natural world that deer inhabit.

Souto and Lee have turned cookery books into a true art form with Venison - The Game Larder, with budding culinary artists and deer-stalkers alike in for a treat. Definitely not just another recipe book destined to lie unopened and gathering dust on a shelf, this really is a venison book with a difference.
