  In recent years, Britain's attitude to food has changed. In a world that is becoming more eco-aware, 'organic' and 'corn fed' meat is gaining popularity at the expense of immoral, processed food. And yet strangely, 'game' - strictly speaking any bird or animal living wild, which is hunted for food - remains on the fringes on many people's diet. Many people would rather pay twice the price at a supermarket for a comparatively tasteless chicken. Tebbit, a keen amateur chef, uses The Game Cookbook to showcase his favourite game recipes featuring pheasant, partridge, duck, grouse, woodpigeon, woodcock, deer, rabbit, hare and more. Whether the recipe is a relatively simple casserole or a more challenging creation such as pheasant with apples and cream or rabbit with white wine and mushroom, Tebbit's easy to follow style will guarantee consistent results. The book also includes a concise guide to game, advice on kitchen equipment, handy conversion charts and individual hints on the various game included. The Game Cookbook is a mouth-watering morsel for eco-cooks, traditional food-lovers and those who are looking for some money-saving ways to provide tasty, wholesome meat dishes to the family. The Rt. Hon. Norman Tebbit CH, PC, is a former Member of Parliament for Chingford. He is the author of several books, including Britain's Future, Values of Freedom, Upwardly Mobile and Unfinished Business. He is a keen amateur cook and a fan of Delia Smith and Sophie Grigson.
