River Cottage Veg
Power (1x5)
Air date: Nov 13, 2011
Hugh immerses himself in the pleasures of wild swimming with vegetarian triathlete Colin. Meanwhile, Tim and James go head to head in the kitchen with a summer veg showdown.
Colin Hill has swum the English Channel, the Bosphorus and the Hellespont, and he puts pay to any suspicion that a meat-free diet lacks power. But his pasta-heavy diet lacks imagination - pasta and ketchup, anyone? So Hugh whips up some delicious carb-loading dishes that provide plenty of flavour as well as energy.
Hugh also makes a campfire lunch for a team working with heavy horses to clear a forest.
Tim and James make a saffron speltotto and the classic melanzane parmigiana.
