River Cottage: Winter's on the Way

Hugh travels to Gloucestershire for expert advice on making pear cider, undergoes a crash course in free diving and joins foraging guru John Wright to hunt for mushrooms.

Hugh deals with a rabbit invasion in his garden by bringing in two warreners, and takes his children to Devon to look for wild mussels with French teacher Nathalie Arnold.

Taking inspiration from his garden, Hugh decides to throw a chilli and pumpkin party. He sets about trying to recreate a favourite food from his youth: the Findus Crispy Pancake.

Hugh begins his preparations for Christmas, making chocolate brownies to give as gifts and using his slaughtered steer to create canapes of biltong and pastrami for a party.
