Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall

Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall with veg
Went to see H F-W at the Cheltenham Literature Festival a few weeks ago. He has a new book out called 'River Cottage Veg Everyday!' and he was talking to the audience about how he had stopped eating meat and fish for a few months and had found new ways to cook with fruit and vegetables. He was really good and he came across very well - funny and friendly. After the talk he signed books so I was able to have a chat with him. I did ask him if Oscar (his son) wanted a girl friend but he said that Oscar is more interested in shooting rabbits and pigeons than girls at the moment, but he did say to drop him a line...might just do that as he's really hot! You can read an interview with H F-W here.
