River Cottage

The View from River Cottage: Going Local (7x3)

:

Continuing his retrospective assessment of the vital elements of rural life, Hugh looks back on his ever-increasing commitment to sourcing his food locally. It is not just about quality and taste, he concludes, the search for the best local food can lead you to all sorts of escapades and adventures. From plundering the sea for whelks to sell on the beach (then dressing up as a lobster for a fancy dress beer race) to recruiting a local biker to help him get asparagus from the ground to his punter’s plates in less than an hour, Hugh shows that it’s the feel good factor that makes local food special and keeps him coming back for more.
