DVD Description

Join Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstal in two one-hour specials, as he embarks on the River Cottage Road Trip. In a quest to find fresh culinary inspiration, Hugh decides to explore new territory, leaving his business behind and heading North to find some regional recipes to bring back home. His journey starts in Dumfriesshire, where he learns how to hunt for and make haggis. In Cumbria he shoots his first teal and barbeques it for lunch with a kebab of its heart and kidney. Then, in exchange for a lakeside tepee pitch in the Lake District, he agrees to cook a lakeside ingredient-based feast for the revellers of the Coniston Water Festival.

Customer Reviews

Not the best....Not the worst
This has a similar feel in many respects to Steins "Food Heroes" (in so far as Hugh travels the country to partake in a variety of food related activities), it isn't terrible by any means but my main gripe is the price for what you get. Yes, Hugh's travels around the country in order to experience & source local/regional foods are still interesting & there are still some fascinating features & very good recipes & Hugh never disappoints with his free & easy style of presenting, it's just that all the other River Cottage DVDs are so much better (& you get more for your hard earned cash) - I'm a great fan of Hugh's work & he beats much of what else is available, hands down but I would suggest any of the other River Cottage DVDs would be a better buy , or failing that ,the excellent Edwardian House DVD.
The quest for curried goat in Birminham & the subsequent Pirates of the Carribean style party, that Hugh hosts, is the highlight for me.
If this was available for about a tenner I might not feel that this was one River Cottage DVD franchise,too far !!
