Shooting: A Season of Discovery is a fascinating and revealing guide to some of the UK s
most significant shoots and the people who shoot and work there. Co-hosting one of the
country s finest partridge and pheasant shoots with her husband the Duke of Rutland,
the Duchess assumed she knew about shooting. However, talking to and watching every Gun,
loader, beater and their dog at their home, Belvoir Castle in Leicestershire exposed a gaping
chasm in her understanding of the sport and its relevance to our countryside. Undaunted,
she visited over twenty contrasting shoots including John Dodd s grouse moor at Glenogil,
Lord Barnard s wild bird day at Raby Castle, and western Ireland for woodcock.
This magnificent volume is peppered with recipes from generations of family favourites
from Belvoir Castle s kitchen, cooked and updated by tv chef, Mike Robinson.
Stunning photography, history, extraordinary anecdotes and accounts of some of the
country s finest shooting will inspire and educate country lovers, shooters and cooks alike.
