Basic Big Game Stew
This will warm your belly after coming in from a cold hunt. If your meat isn’t tender enough, put it in the slow cooker for a few hours before adding it to the stew. Use fresh herbs for the best taste and add sprigs of rosemary to the top to dress up your bowl.

Champagne Orange Sauce
This is a smooth buttery sauce that’s great over fish, chicken, eggs or vegetables. Especially worth making the day after a party and you have a few leftover champagne bottles. I hate throwing that stuff down the drain.

Andrew’s Fish Burgers
This recipe was a close call for the judges. It was barely edged out by the top three winners. Best of all, Andrew is a 7-year old chef-in-training. Way to go Andrew! Any type of fish will work – even salmon – but you want a nice flaky fish to pat your burgers together.
