January. It's a bit of a D month, don't you think? Dreary, drizzly, dull. It's not really A-list, not like, say, blossoming April or sultry August. OK, enough of the word play, you get my drift. Christmas has long gone, everyone's broke...it is, officially, the most depressing month of the year. Still, we'll soon be crossing the boundary into February, onto Valentine's Day and one step closer to spring. But January has got at least one thing going for it: game. Whether you go for deep rich venison, flavoursome pheasant or the more delicate rabbit, game feels like a real luxury in this bare month. Make the most of the season while it lasts and why not mix up the meats with a hearty, full-bodied pie like this one?
