Game Chef Hunt: in search of the next top Game Chef

The hunt is on to find the next Rachel Carrie or Mike Robinson! The BGA’s new Game Chef Hunt invites budding young game cooks to throw their hat in the ring.

The British Game Alliance has announced an exciting new competition for under 21’s who love cooking with game, or who wish to use Lockdown to learn how to cook game. The ‘Game Chef Hunt’ competition aims to showcase and celebrate great game recipes and talent of young people.

The Ingredients:

Entries can be any game dish - fur or feather - that you love to cook and eat at home. If relevant, and with the shoot and Head Keeper’s permission, please let the BGA know the name of the shoot that you enjoy going to most, as a gun, beater, or picking up with your dogs, along with the name of the shoots’ Headkeeper, again with their permission – as they will win a prize alongside the winning entrant.

The Method - how to enter

To enter, post a picture of your competition dish to Instagram, Facebook or Twitter, outlining the key ingredients used, and tagging @Britishgamealliance, @DylanPressendye and @RachelCarrieHunting. The closing date for entries is 10th February 2021. Alternatively entries can be emailed directly to info@Britishgamealliance.co.uk

The Winning Dish:

The top three entries will be contacted for more details of the dish and how it is prepared and presented. The winner will be decided by a panel of three judges – Liam Stokes CEO of the BGA, Michael Robinson, the renowned chef and owner of The Woodsman, The Elder and joint owner of Michelin starred Harwood Arms restaurants, and Rachel Carrie, keen country sportswoman, author and passionate advocate of game. They will jointly announce the winner on social media on Saturday 13th February.

Their dish will be the featured recipe in an issue of Fieldsports Journal
