Now there's a new way to participate in our "Game in a Day" course.
As well as the full day at River Cottage HQ and the DVD, we've added a unique new method for you to experience the full detail of the River Cottage Game philosophy. This is the River Cottage on-line Game course.
One of the real treats on the River Cottage menu is the fantastic range of wild meat available all year round. And we believe there’s no better way to enjoy this fantastic resource than to hunt it, butcher it and cook it yourself.
In this course Hugh and game expert Nick Fisher cover everything you need to know about shooting and trapping the best game and edible vermin, from the humble woodpigeon to the elusive roe deer.
Butcher Ray Smith takes you through all you need to know about plucking, skinning, gutting and butchering your own wild meat so that you are ready to tuck into a feast of new and classic game recipes from Gill Meller and the team in the River Cottage kitchen.
The course contains:
- Over 80 mins of Video from our Game On DVD - with instruction, tips and recipes
- Over 25 other River Cottage Game recipes including 12 video recipes
And, all of this can be accessed and enjoyed again and again...
As this is online it is entirely interactive, you can decide which bits of the course are appropriate to you. And you can complete them at your own leisure. We've added a 'coursebook' and it will remember which section you've completed as you go along. You can add your own notes, on the techniques, your experiences and recipes - to make a complete reference for you for the future. You can add to this at any time. When you've completed the course, we'll even automatically send your own personalized course certificate, signed by Hugh and Ray to say you've finished!
Throughout the process on line, you can consult our wide range of FAQs and if there's not an answer, ask your own.
In addition, a full list of other resources is also in the course structure, including suppliers of game, tools, useful organsations, books etc. In fact everything you could possible need to know.
