Wild mallard w/ poached quince, roasted endive & orange

Cooks in 40 minutes Difficulty Medium

Some flavour combinations work; no need to adapt, change or mess about with them. Oranges, for example, have enough acidity to break through the fat richness of a plump duck. This same duck contains a sweetness, which, when combined with poached quince and fresh sour oranges, gives your taste buds the delightful satisfaction of a sweet and sour dish more often associated with Chinese cooking.

Val’s Cotechino Recipe with Potatoes & Tunworth Aligot

Cooks in 40 minutes

This is one of my absolute favourite winter dishes — a rich, indulgent Cotechino recipe that pairs the sausage’s gloriously gelatinous texture with a mound of Tunworth-infused mashed potatoes. It’s the kind of plate that demands a good glass of red wine and zero guilt. Deeply savoury, gloriously comforting, and utterly naughty — just how I like it.

Lamb liver recipe w/ sage butter

Cooks in 3-4 Minutes Difficulty Easy

Good quality lamb liver is a real joy, and very little needs to be done to achieve excellent results! My favourite method is to pat it dry, lightly dredge it in seasoned flour, and quickly fry it in foaming butter with a handful of fresh sage leaves.
