The Venison Cookery Course is our most ‘wildest’ cookery class & is not for the faint hearted. This is ‘field-to-table cooking in the truest sense! Venison is the greatest & most versatile of all the game meats. At the Mike Robinson Game & Wild Food Cookery School, they believe that to cook it properly & do it justice, you need to understand the animal itself & appreciate the differences between the species in terms of flavour, texture & the changes in the seasons. They whole heartedly believe that an animal that has lived a wild, free life & is killed instantaneously is unquestionably the healthiest & best tasting meat available. Your Venison Cookery Class will begin with the group heading off to the deer park to watch a deer being humanely culled & field dressed. You will learn about the different deer species found in the UK & why they taste different. Next, we will return to the school where we will skin, joint & butcher a carcass down to cuts of meat that will be more recognisable to you. We will then help you to cook several recipes using the cuts including celebrity chef Mike Robinsons famous venison paves. Example Venison recipes that may be cooked: Salad of Warm Smoked Venison & Bacon Moroccan Venison, Yoghurt & Cumin Skewers Pave of Wild Venison with Potato Puree & a Peppercorn Sauce (the Pot Kiln’s signature dish!)
