1. Hugh's cosy cooking (Image 1 of 6)

As the nights draw in, Hugh turns to home comforts.
"Winter is a time filled with heart-warming pleasures. We like to keep our toes cosy and treat our taste buds," he says.

Winter brings new and delicious ingredients for Hugh to play with. Meat is on the menu as Hugh's beef steer goes off to slaughter, forager John shows Hugh why it's important to know your mushrooms and there's a break with tradition, as Hugh attempts to lure his cider-loving neighbours to the pleasures of pear perry.

All this week's recipes:
Pinhead oatmeal
Mixed mushroom tart
Ham hock soup
Parsnip and thyme bread
Pear and almond pudding cake
Gill's pear and blue cheese canapé
Tim's poached pears
Scallops and mushy squash

Wow the pear and almond cake looks fantastic, must try that recipe. How can I get hold of the Malvern Hills pear perry featured in the programme of 12th November 2009. Gwen.

It took me back to my childhood, when Perry was mentioned and drunk on your programme. My father used to buy it by the crateload, and when my sisters and I were old enough, we used to drink it. Can you tell me where actually to buy it now? I would love to have a few bottles in around Christmas time. Kind regards, Patricia Badger
