Ray Smith

Butchery & Charcuterie

Ray Smith has been involved with butchery in various forms since he was fifteen years old, although he has had several other occupations over the years! He and his wife ran their own shop for twelve years, and during this time Ray learned most of the skills for which he is so well known today. In 1998 he met Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall and become the River Cottage butcher, giving Hugh the benefit of his expertise and knowledge during the writing of both the River Cottage Cook Book and the River Cottage Meat Book, which Hugh openly admits he couldn’t have written without Ray’s help.

Course programme

Game in a Day

This course will showcase the many varieties of game birds available locally and examine the way in which they are bred and managed. You will learn how to identify a game bird in feather, investigate and discuss the importance of the hanging process, and master the art of dressing a bird. Ray will also show you how to deal with small furred game; rabbit, hare, and squirrel. Using Welbeck game, discover ways of producing your own pates and terrines and through practical cooking demonstrations learn how to balance out the wonderful rich flavours of game. The course will use Welbeck woodcock, pigeon, partridge, pheasant and duck.
