Some may think of Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall as slightly eccentric. After all his books feature chapters on the best way to catch and eat the likes of garden pigeons and squirrels. However, amongst the slightly less practical features he provides a wealth of information on sensible ways to escape the urban sprawl and live off the land. This series follows Hugh and his family as they set about turning River Cottage into a self sufficient paradise with flowers, vegetables and their own livestock and includes advice on recipes that use ingredients that can be grown and caught.

Rated 5 stars
Extremely well presented, very good TV.

A Customer from Wales, 1st June, 2004

I'd watched a few of these on channel 4, but never really made the effort to actually sit and watch them fully, if it was on I'd watch it sort of thing, but was recommended to me.
On DVD without the adverts (only 24 mins an episode) it is simply fasinating , extremely well presented, and just shows what you can do with a little imagination, instead of buying those plastic shrowded 8 rashers of processed, limp, skinny and rubbery back bacon slices from your supermarket, by rearing your own pigs.
