Why did I start this venison recipe site? Because my husband is a great hunter. And we have a lot of deer in our area. As a result, I always have about 100 pounds of deer in the freezer—no matter how much I cook, the meat just keeps reappearing. After eating about 50 gallons of chili one year, I realized I had a choice to make—I could keep making the same dishes over and over, or I could really learn how to cook with deer meat and experiment with gourmet recipes. So my quest started. I love looking for interesting recipes and testing them with venison. Cooking with venison can be tricky, but I’ve learned how to adapt recipes so the meat is tender and delicious. This web site is the product of that research. Bon Appetite!
