River Cottage: Veg

Hugh plants a vegetable garden to show how easy it can be, and meets with vegetarian chef David Bailey to discover vegetable-based cuisine.

On the hunt for some meat-free protein, Hugh climbs a monkey puzzle tree and Hugh and head gardener Mark enter dishes in the local horticultural show.

Hugh convinces a bride and groom to have a vegetable banquet at their wedding. For guidance, he pays a visit to Jagdish Ghelani, who often prepares south Indian feasts.

Hugh's commitment to a meat-free summer is tested when he heads out on a fishing trip.

Hugh joins triathlete Colin Hill for a wild swim and makes a camp lunch for a forest-clearning team.

When it comes to seasonal food that is both cheap and delicious, Hugh is adamant that vegetables cannot be beaten.
