Guest editor: Mike Robinson

With Mike Robinson at the helm of this issue, our focus turns to the use of wild deer as a

sustainable British ingredient.

Mike is an acclaimed chef, hunter and champion of wild food, with a boundless passion for connecting with nature – and a mission to spotlight the vital role of wild food in today’s world.

His impressive CV includes leading four highly acclaimed restaurants across the south of

England, penning three cookbooks, and hosting hit TV shows such as Farming the Wild and

Fishing the Wild.

In this issue, we explore the art of cooking game over fire, and discover marinades and rubs

from around the world to elevate our wild food cooking.

Elsewhere, we hear about a thriving woodcock shoot in one quiet corner of Scotland, go in

pursuit of elk in Utah, and learn more about the joy of spearfishing in British waters. This

issue also includes a fascinating book extract from leading natural history writer John Lewis-

Stempel and a photographic essay telling the story of a decade of a syndicate shoot in

south-east England. Plus much more besides - this issue really is absolutely jam-packed

with incredible brand-new content, and we hope you enjoy it!
