We visited TV chef and food campaigner Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall's beautiful River Cottage in Dorset, just after school broke up for summer. Our tour included demonstrations in jam making and mushroom identification, as well as a look around the farm. Like Riverford, River Cottage is another excellent example of ethically produced (and delicious) food which inspires us to cook and eat well. |

We learned to make gooseberry curd and raspberry jam from Pam Corbin, author of Preserves. |
John Wright, dubious mushroom expert, seemed to do his best to dissuade the public from hunting mushrooms. |
