        £3.99 for a hardback book!! I think I'd get it just for the bargain factor.

          I think River Cottage is brilliant. Every time I watch HFW I get a new idea/experiment for either the garden or the kitchen, or the shed that has become my own personal brewery

            Maybe, but I do have one or two other veggie growing books...

                I like HFW! I find River Cottage gives me inspiration to try stuff... have baked the mashed-potato-lemon-drizzle cake from a couple of weeks ago, and it was fab!

                Plus, ideas about jam, brewing and some of the recipes (although NOT slugs) are welcomed!

                I think it's nice to have someone like that on TV... of course, my veg patch would look that good if I had several staff to help me!

Those rubbish jokes/puns he's always cracking, I like him and that, but he really is a bit of a dork Oh and he's a total p*ss head too.
                  Actually no!!!He's my not so secret celebrity crush!

                      I have the book and its okay, for readability its good but marks out of 10 then 5 or 6, for actual instruction its only a bit better than whats on the back of a seed packet, Carole Klein or Andi Clevely books in my opinion are better.
