It’s Friday and I am excited to be making some Venison & Wild Boar burgers. I’ve never had Wild Boar before but my local gamedealer had some so it would be rude not to try it out. Venison is pretty much fat free and because it is so lean, you really need some fat toContinue reading “Venison & Wild Boar Burgers”

Monkfish Tikka Kebabs

I pull upContinue reading “What’s good for the goose is good for the gander….or so I thought.”
