A Culinary Ode to Charentais Game
When it comes to celebrating the richness of local flavors, Charente-Maritime stands out with its abundance of varied and tasty game. A new recipe book, born from the passionate collaboration of the members of the Dianes 17 association, offers a culinary journey through this territory. Titled “From Hunt to Plate“, this 120-page work will be unveiled during an open house day organized by the departmental hunting federation.
Authentic and Tested Recipes
From small game such as pheasant and rabbit, to big game like wild boar and deer, the book explores a range of preparations imagined by the hunters themselves. The book includes 78 meticulously crafted and tested recipes by the active members of the association, confirming the quality and authenticity of the proposed dishes. Karène Morisset, the vice-president of Dianes 17 and the book’s project manager, emphasizes the importance of each recipe, which has been rigorously cooked and tasted within her own family, also passionate about hunting.
An Educational and Informative Plus
Enriching the culinary content, the book also offers valuable insights into the specifics of each animal, thanks to the collaboration of a technician from the Federation. This information adds educational value to the work, allowing readers to better understand local game while learning to cook it. Sold at the price of 20 euros, “From Hunt to Plate” represents a valuable resource for both enthusiasts and connoisseurs of game.
Future Projects
Despite the challenges related to the perception of hunting, Dianes 17 continues to have big aspirations. Driven by a strong commitment to nature and community, they plan to launch initiatives such as a collection of used cartridges to support the fight against breast cancer during the Pink October campaign. They are also considering developing publications aimed at children to rehabilitate a positive image of hunting. The dynamism and creativity of the association suggest other beautiful successes to come.
This book is more than just a collection of recipes: it is a heartfelt cry and a tribute to the natural and gastronomic heritage of Charente-Maritime. For those who wish to acquire a copy or learn more, the sale will take place directly in Saint-Julien-de-l’Escap during the presentation event or online through the association’s website.
