Wild Meat Recipes
As a cook, I have a very open mind and am more than willing to play with ingredients that are "out of my wheelhouse".
Many of my wild meat recipes feature ingredients that a younger me may have been sceptical about.
They are all delicious and provide a wonderful alternative protein source for a meal.
Of course, duck and venison are well represented. But, you will also find recipes for stuff like pigeon, wild boar, quail, partridge and venison.
