The Hunter’s Feast with The Functional Foodie

The Hunter’s Feast

24 October & 4 December | 3 Hours

Join Jane, The Functional Foodie, at Truro School Cookery for The Hunter’s Feast — an immersive evening of wild game cookery celebrating seasonal, locally sourced ingredients and traditional countryside skills.

Game plays an important role in rural life, providing both a sustainable local food source and delicious, nutrient-rich meat. Yet for many home cooks, preparing and cooking game can feel unfamiliar or intimidating. This hands-on class is designed to give you the confidence to work with game from field to plate.

During the session, you will learn how to prepare game birds by removing the breasts and legs without plucking or gutting, alongside practical techniques for cooking a variety of game meats. From quick-roasted small birds and perfectly seared breast portions to rich, slow-cooked pheasant and venison dishes ideal for winter evenings, you’ll discover how to create deeply flavoured seasonal meals with ease.

Example Menu

  • Rich Venison Stew
  • Seared Partridge Breast
  • Pheasant Cooked in Cream & Cider
  • Roasted Game Birds

Jane will be sourcing the game for this event from her own land, so the final menu may vary depending on seasonal availability and the produce at the time.
