Cooking with Game

Saturday, 11th October 2025

9.45am – 3.30pm

Throughout late summer, autumn and winter there is a plentiful supply of game in Scotland. It is lean meat, low in cholesterol and a good alternative to red meat in the diet. However it does take careful cooking and on this one day workshop at The Edinburgh New Town Cookery School we will be showing you how to cook a lovely selection of recipes. The day starts at 9.45am with coffee and a demonstration. Then it is aprons on and into the kitchen to cook your lunch. After lunch, which will be accompanied by a glass of wine, you will continue to cook and finish recipes to take home with you.

The recipes likely to be cooked on the day are:

Demonstration

Game Terrine with Cumberland Sauce

Practical

Venison and Cranberry Casserole

Warm Pheasant Breast, Pancetta and Pistachio Salad with Orange and Walnut Dressing

Moroccan Style Partridge One Pot Stew with Preserved Lemons

Pan Fried Pigeon Breast with Blackberry Sauce and Toasted Hazelnuts

“Collette & Carly managed a professional team and was fair to all participants with her time on Saturday. No time is wasted and the various stages of the day’s course was well explained. Always friendly and professionally taught. I liked the process of preparing, cooking and eating our own pheasant lunch in an enjoyable dining-room setting. An opportunity to mix and chat. The terrine made in advance was a fine accompaniment also.” – Mark (2024)
