The book is the latest in a long line of publications from the food guru - The River Cottage Cookbook, The River Cottage Meat Book, The River Cottage Fish Book, River Cottage Everyday, and River Cottage Everyday Veg .

“Posh twit - Clifton will LOVE him.
He will probably make a stew out of some leaves and berries, washed down with some wine made from acorns.
