Inaugural Guest Blog from the Batch Lady where she adapts three of her favourite recipes for Great British Game Week so you can create your own Game meat Grab and Cook Bags.
MOM Series: Introducing kids to fly fishing
I believe that fly fishing isn’t just a sport, it’s a skill to be passed on. It teaches patience, respect for nature, fieldcraft and the joy of slowing down in a fast-paced world. And there is no feeling quite like catching your first fish.

MOM Series: hiking with your baby
I know the idea of hiking up a mountain, or walking windswept coastal paths, with your kids, might feel intimidating at first. Then there’s the gear, the planning, the ‘what ifs’. But ‘what if’ it is much easier than you think?
If you can find a way to start your adventure mindset, and bring your kids along for the journey, I guarantee it will spark a lifetime of connection with the outdoors for them. Even if you’re tired. Even if your body feels different. Even if the pace is slow and the hike is short because you’ve had to adapt to your little ones’ needs.
Field to fork: why hunting is the ultimate ethical connection to food
For me, hunting and having a ‘field to fork’ approach is not just a sport or a lifestyle; it’s a relationship. One that ties me to the land, to my food and to my values.
We live in a world that’s incredibly disconnected from what we eat. Supermarket aisles don’t tell the story behind the food. It’s just there, constantly available and without any traceability. But when you take responsibility for your own meat, and grow your own vegetables, fruit and herbs, you understand food in a way that’s impossible to ignore.
In a noisy, throwaway world, field to fork is a quiet rebellion.
