Air-fryer ownership has reached tipping point, with more than half of the country’s households now using one to cook meals. The appliance – which really exploded onto the scene less than two years ago – has become a mainstay in the domestic kitchen. In fact, 58% of the Brits we surveyed said they use an air-fryer more than the traditional oven. While the toaster (77% use one) and microwave (75%) still top the list of appliances used in our Good Food Nation 2024 poll, the air-fryer has soared from 46% in 2023 to its lofty status today. In another reflection of the trend, we had no air-fryer recipes on our website in 2020 and now have over 70, plus guides and appliance reviews (find them at goodfood.com/recipes/air-fryer-recipes).

Venison pie British venison is a sustainable meat, as deer are culled in the UK to maintain a balanced ecosystem – cooking with it ensures the meat doesn’t go to waste (find out more about this on page 126). It’s also lean, containing less fat than other red meats, but still has plenty of flavour. Cuts of venison work in much the same way as their beef counterparts – venison fillet makes a great steak, whereas shoulder and haunch benefit from being cooked low and slow, as we’ve done for this pie. Venison is now available to buy from many butchers and larger supermarkets.
