1.
Hello 2012
 |
Happy New Year to you all! New Year is of course a great time for change and resolutions, so why not make this year a healthy one.
There is no reason eating healthily can’t be an enjoyable experience, just replace lamb, beef or pork with delicious lean game. Pheasant and partridge and venison contain less than 120kcals per 100g and are high in protein so will make you feel fuller for longer. Rustle up a tasty, nutritious dish for your family like this Venison Stir Fry

2. Make the most of Game
|
The pheasant and partridge shooting season finishes next month, so be sure to make the very most of it. Whether you prefer classic dishes or meals with a more modern twist, game is versatile enough to be used in all kinds dishes from British pies to Mediterranean stews to Asian curries. To get you started we would suggest this great easy dish for Pheasant breasts braised in cider, it’s tender and tasty and suitable for both casual dinners and entertaining.

3. Don’t pass up a Parsnip
|
|
Along with game, you’ll want to serve a nice vegetable side dish to accompany it and we think there’s nothing better than a terrific parsnip. The sweet, humble parsnip is a fantastic compliment to all types of game, so we have a glorious recipe to show you how good a match they are - Roast Partridge with thyme butter, wild mushrooms and parsnip puree- a true winter warmer.
