Valentine travels to the remote Scottish island of Jura in search of red deer, but managing to shoot one for his venison pie may not be quite so simple.

The new seasonal food series continues. Chef and culinary explorer Valentine Warner is hugely passionate about food and nature. He unearths the very best ingredients, as he travels the length and breadth of Britain on a delicious journey through the very best heart-warming autumn food. Each week he will be showing us the food we should be eating right now, how it grows and mouth watering ways to cook it.

Valentine travels to the remote Scottish island of Jura in search of red deer. He is bound to see a stag or two but managing to shoot one for his venison pie may not be quite so simple. Valentine thinks plump partridges are a fabulously tasty autumn treat and a great choice for people who are not partial to birds with too gamey a flavour. Taking inspiration from his travels he cooks up partridge with raz el hanout, a heady mix of spices and seeds popular in Morocco. Finally Valentine gets very excited at the prospect of the crispy skin and juicy breasts of autumn duck, cooking up a delicious dish of mallard with puy lentils and chanterelle mushrooms.
