Venison: The Game Larder - José Souto

Venison: The Game Larder is a richly layered tribute to one of Britain’s most treasured ingredients, blending exceptional cookery with a deep respect for the land and the wildlife it provides. With venison rising in popularity for its flavour, nutrition and sustainability, chef and lecturer José Souto brings together over 50 inspired recipes that showcase the remarkable versatility of this beautiful meat.

Drawing on his decades of expertise teaching game preparation and cookery to chefs around the world, Souto offers everything from comforting everyday dishes to refined dinner party centrepieces. Joined by a range of guest chefs, he reveals a world of possibility with slow cooked, smoked, cured, roasted, rustic and elegant dishes that highlight venison in every form.

This book is much more than a recipe collection. Through the award winning eye of photographer Steve Lee, Venison: The Game Larder becomes an immersive journey that follows deer on the hillside, the tradition of stalking, the craft of butchery, and the quiet beauty of nature’s bounty presented with care and respect. With more than 200 extraordinary images, it captures the full story of venison from field to plate.

A striking blend of knowledge, tradition and artistry, this is an essential volume for cooks, hunters, food lovers and anyone who appreciates the connection between landscape, heritage and exceptional food.
