Nichola Fletcher's Ultimate Venison Cookery has won 'Best single subject cookery book in the World' in the Gourmand World Cookbook Awards 2008.

At a champagne ceremony in London's Olympia, Nichola Fletcher's authoritative venison book was recognised by the Gourmand World Cookbook Awards as Best Single Subject Cookery Book in the World.

Accepting her award, Nichola said, 'I am thrilled that my book has been singled out for such an honour. I believe that venison is one of the most misunderstood meats of all; so much wrong information has been written about it. It has been my life's work to reveal venison in its true colours - a wonderfully healthy, humanely produced meat that does not destroy the environment and that is actually really easy to cook.'
