I’ll admit it: I’m a bit of a River Cottage fanatic. Yes, that means this book “review” is going to be biased, and I’m probably viewing it through rose tinted glasses (my copy was pre-ordered the moment I heard about it and the signed copy arrived last week with the accompanying DVD!). …

In this book he takes this style one step further, by creating simple (yet exciting) ‘back to basics recipes’, which are suitable for the whole family to be involved with.
