Description
Karoo Venison by Annatjie Reynolds and Lynne Minnaar is a practical South African cookbook devoted to preparing and cooking venison. Reynolds, a home economist with deep roots in the Karoo and extensive experience with game meat, shares practical knowledge on processing, preserving and freezing venison, as well as preparing different cuts for the kitchen. The book is organised according to cuts of meat, with recipes and cooking methods suited to each one.
The recipes range from familiar South African favourites to more creative dishes, including roasted steak cubes with garlic sauce, biltong salad, deboned game roulade, smoked sausage, creamy barley risotto, Karoo curry and Ouma’s game pie. The book also covers techniques such as smoking and brining, as well as making biltong, salami and sausage. With its combination of practical venison knowledge, recipes and Karoo food traditions, Karoo Venison is both a useful cookbook and a celebration of South African game cooking.
