About Sanjay Bhattacharya:

Sanjay started working in fine dining aged 18, having always had a keen interest in food. Following a degree in Biochemistry, Sanjay returned to the world of food as soon as he could, teaching classes across London, hosting supper clubs and working as project manager for a residential cookery school for underprivileged young adults.

“Having escaped to Scotland with my wife, I was finally able to explore the world of hunting and foraging which I have always been fascinated by, helped by working on a local estate and learning from the gamekeeper, Hedge. I am now the Scottish ambassador for Eat Wild, an advocacy group encouraging the public to give game a try. I love working with wild meats, especially ones I have harvested myself, alongside foraging throughout the seasons, and sharing my passions for modern game cookery with friends and guests.”
