Recipe: Wild venison ragú with fresh tagliatelle

Recipe: Wild venison ragú with fresh tagliatelle

With comfort food at the top of everyone's list this winter, I've been making food that not only nourishes the body but also feeds the soul. I feel like during this strange time that we're experiencing having a comforting feed is necessary. This recipe would work with venison, wild boar, hare or any wild red meat mince that you have available. I've tried it with moose mince and it's delicious.

Roe deerstalking in a Moray woodland

Roe deerstalking in a Moray woodland

Earlier in this week, I had my first experience of roe deer stalking in a woodland located in Moray, in the Scottish Highlands.

We stayed with a friend, for a few days, who rented nearby ground and managed the deer on this ground. The weather was cool with a still breeze, making it a challenge to move in a gracious and silent...
