River Cottage

Series Summary

Renowned carnivore Hugh Fearnley Whittingstall loves animals when alive, and when they're on his plate. But he believes the nation has to curb its need for meat - for the good of the animals, people's health and the planet.

There's a simple way to help ease the situation - Hugh wants people to eat more veg. So Hugh leaves his comfort zone and challenges himself to spend the summer as a vegetarian, to see just how satisfying life without meat can be for a true foodie.

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.

At River Cottage he puts 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.
