A lovely book with useful information on different game types such birds, wildfowl etc., sub divided into specific subjects, pheasant, partridge etc.
Many of the accompanying recipes are illustrated in colour and there a number paintings and drawings on hunting subjects.
Surprisingly CDW credits a butcher for supplying most of the game used in the recipes. Considering she shoots herself, as does her co author I thought this rather strange !
Rereading this I note one recipe is ' bollocks to Blair ' !
So called as when CDW and Johnny were at book signings he invariably added this phrase under his signature.
Blair, who was PM at the time, was soundly disliked by the hunting and farming fraternity and CDW turned down invites to cook for him at Downing Street.
Why ' bollocks ' ? The recipe call for 6 roe deer testicles !
