Any how,moving along to hopefully send a taste of it to tickle yer taste buds and using my senses and memory to enlighten and share with you my thoughts and opinion on this Welsh holiday cottage,you will see I have put a few disadvantages but for the main part-99% excellent.

...As soon as I found out that Channel 4 were releasing a tie-in book for Hugh Fearnley Whittingstalls latest series "River Cottage Forever", I rushed out to get it. The book cost £20.00 from Waterstones (RRP £25.00), so I was already pleased at getting a discount! This is a hardcover book containing 447 full colour pages and has some wonderful photography throughout.

Firstly, most (but not all) of the recipes featured in the series are present, so if Hugh made you hungry for any of his recipes, they're here with detailed ingredients, peperation & cookery instructions. The book is divided into section to cover varying topics such as Fruit & Veg, meat, fish & livestock etc... Read review

...The River Cottage Cookbook by Hugh Fearnley-Whitingstall is a real book about cookery. There's none of the plastic-looking artistically arranged fripperies that pass for food in the cook books of many so-called chefs and self-styled experts. Hugh Fearnley-Whitingstall gives us real food, cooked really well. The book won the Glenfiddich Trophy for 2002. It is not hard to see why. With Hugh, there's none of the schlepping down to Waitrose, Tesco, Sainbury's or wherever. No. Hugh preaches the gospel of good, wholesome food. Now, whilst Hugh is keen on people growing their own food, he is not silly enough to believe that everyone can grow their own food,
