This series distils the River Cottage experience into six main principles for living Hugh's simple life: being thrifty (nose-to-tail eating), making the most of the wild larder, getting the best of what is local and seasonal, celebrating food with friends and neighbours, growing your own fruit and veg, and killing for the pot.

Join Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstal in two one-hour specials, as he embarks on the River Cottage Road Trip.

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.
The River Cottage Treatment
Hugh is bringing his message to the masses. Each week Hugh invites a different group of urban dwelling, fast food loving non-cooks to spend a week at his River Cottage HQ. It's a clash of food cultures, as they come to the farm, meet the livestock, grow and forage, and even kill for a meal they can truly call their own.
