Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall

Also known as

FearnleyFearnley-Whittingsta

A talented writer, broadcaster and campaigner, Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall is widely known for his uncompromising commitment to seasonal, ethically produced food. His books, journalism and series for Channel 4 have earned him a huge popular following. Hugh started living in the original River Cottage in rural Dorset in 1998, determined to start growing and rearing some of his own food. His steep learning curve was documented in the *Escape to River Cottage* series (1999), which won him a big audience. Following this success, and the publication of *The River Cottage Cookbook* (2001) which won several awards, he was able to establish River Cottage HQ near Bridport in 2004. <sup>[1][1]</sup> [1]: http://www.rivercottage.net/Page~59/Hugh.aspx
