Renowned carnivore and enthusiastic exponent of the hog roast, Hugh Fearnley Whittingstall loves animals alive and on his plate. Meat and fish have been at the heart of the British menu for decades. Many people feel no meal is complete without them. The demand for so much meat and fish is leading to problems across the world for human health, the health of the animals and the quality of the meat and fish we eat. But there's a simple way to help ease the situation - Hugh wants the nation to eat more veg. It's time to rediscover the joys of vegetables and sate our appetite for meat. And if anyone can rustle up some vegetable delights then its Hugh. He has challenged himself to spend the summer as a vegetarian, and see just what simply pleasures are being overlooked. Travelling the UK in search of committed veggies who love their food, Hugh learns all about a new world of flavours from all corners of the globe that have one thing in common - no meat allowed. At River Cottage, he'll put all his new discoveries into practice, filling his boots with the finest natural foods, teaching new ways with familiar ingredients, and once again eating the apparently uneatable.

Vorige aflevering:1 River Cottage Christmas
Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall and the River Cottage team serve up an extra special festive menu with a twist this Christmas. After a summer of eating veg, Hugh is ready to celebrate Christmas with a renewed sense of the value of meat - but also the wonders of seasonal vegetables. This year all the meat comes from the most extensively-living, free-ranging animals of them all - wild game - and more specifically those that are viewed by many people as pests.The River Cottage chefs sharpen their knives in pursuit of wild boar, muntjack deer and greylag geese. Head gardener Mark Diacono and Hugh seek to make the most of their veg patch, even in the depths of winter, unearthing some Christmas favourites, as well as some heritage varieties from off the beaten path. Forager John Wright teams up with Pam 'the Jam' Corbin to make some luxury stocking fillers. And the Canteen hosts a `12 Tasters of Christmas' night, packed with ideas to create an array of canapes and little bites, perfect for that festive drinks party. The finale is a cosy Christmas get together for friends and family in the River Cottage barn.
