Maybe it’s because I drive a Landrover and love boating, but frankly I believe it is Hugh’s exuberant way of living and presenting that makes this a wonderful dvd! It is not all about showing what you “can forage together” when you want to but it is also about respect for nature and all her creatures and about living and enjoying it. Way to go Hugh! For me it has been a real treat watching this dvd when the rains were pounding on my windows, dreaming of the coming spring when I can go out and nibble from the wild!

Aah, what a joy! Reliving the very early days of Hugh, before he became the super-celebrity he now is, is a pleasure. I’ve been watching him since he first appeared on TV. He never lost his moral compass on ethical issues regarding food production, or sold his soul to a well-known supermarket. Hugh rocks!

First of all it is worth noting that this series was recorded in 1995, not in the 2000s as stated on the DVD. This was Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall’s first TV series and I remember it being on at the time, which was when I started following the adventures of this chef throughout his career. He stands out as being different from other TV chefs.The first series (6 episodes) features Hugh going around the UK in a converted Land Rover, meeting many characters on the way and cooking whatever he can find out in the wilds, hedgerows, rivers and seas.In the second series (4 episodes) he uses a boat on the canal network with a similar theme to the first.Many parts of the series are inspirational and make me want to go out and forage for food.The final series sees Hugh plucking baby ravens from their nests and eating them and at first that made me a little uncomfortable, but is it really any different to taking a baby lamb from its mother? Not really, and Hugh explains about the morals behind this in the piece.Overall this was an enjoyable series of Hugh’s early work and recommended for anyone who is a fan of this engaging chef.
Paul’s reviews –
This is the first and second series, and the still standup as great, watchable TV.HFW hasn’t really changed that much and these early series show his enthusiasm for getting out and cooking what you can, where you can. A must if you haven’t ever seen his early work, and essential if you have as they have proved to be timeless.

What I like about Hugh (and his other series) is that he gives different foods a go without being squeamish about it! Woodlice and squirrel are part of the menu in this series! This is a beautiful and well thought series
