Cook on the Wild Side is a must-have DVD this summer for people who are passionate about food and lovers of the organic lifestyle.First seen on Channel 4 in 1995, the DVD follows Hugh as he tours the British countryside in search of animals, game, fish, edible wild plants and funghi suitable for home cooking.Along the way, Hugh creates feasts using ingredients found in nature, not the supermarket. Britain’s eccentric cook goes anywhere and eats anything in the vast under-used resource of nature’s larder, discovering recipes ranging from eel soup to rook, pigeon pie and tasty grey squirrel for protein.Some of his desserts include such delicacies as gooseberry and puffball soufflé. His search for the ultimate natural ingredients takes him on many adventures including confronting poachers and abseiling cliffs to discover a weird and colourful larder.Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall is widely known as a writer, broadcaster and campaigner for his uncompromising commitment to real food. Both his Channel 4 TV shows (Cook on the Wild Side and the River Cottage series) and his best-selling critically acclaimed book series (The River Cottage Cookbook, The River Cottage Meat book and The River Cottage Year) have earned him a huge following.Hugh is also a regular columnist on the Observer.Cook on the Wild Side
