 Rating: - Less a cookbook than a guide to a sustainable foodie lifestyleAfter falling in love with Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall's The River Cottage Meat Book, I couldn't wait to get my hands on the River Cottage Cookbook, another book originally published in the UK and now available here.

The writing style is easy and informal, ... Read More Rating:  - The River Cottage CookbookGood, honest easy cooking with a twist. Frank and funny with regard to making the most of the bounty of the countryside from nettle soup to bunny burgers. Perfect reference for making jams ans preserves to growing your own produce.
