When properly prepared, venison is one of the tastiest and healthiest proteins, offering a lean, nutrient-dense alternative to more traditional meats like beef and pork. In Karoo Venison, Annatjie, a home economist with deep Karoo roots, shares her knowledge on game meat, from processing it and preserving it, to freezing it and turning it into delicious family meals.

The book is divided according to cuts, with mouth-watering recipes for each. Create versatile venison dishes such as roasted steak cubes with garlic sauce, biltong salad, deboned game roulade, smoked sausage, creamy barley risotto, Karoo curry, and, of course, Ouma’s game pie – a timeless favourite. You’ll find all the information you need to prepare healthy, delicious meals that dispel the notion that game meat can be tough or dry.
