Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall

<p>Today, I’m joined by the chef, broadcaster, food writer and campaigner Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall.&nbsp;We first got to know Hugh through his much loved River Cottage TV series and books, filmed at his River Cottage Estate on the Devon-Dorset border. His uncompromising commitment to seasonal, ethically produced food and his concern for the environment, inspired a vast and loyal fanbase.</p><p>Alongside more than 20 cookery shows, he’s also tackled powerful issues in his documentary campaigns, like obesity, illegal wildlife trade, fishing and the war on plastic.&nbsp;He’s the author of numerous best-selling cookbooks and he’s back with a new one - Eat Better Forever.&nbsp;</p><p>We talk about that, his life-changing trip to Africa which shaped his food philosophy; what it was like travelling around India for 4 months with his young family; how a close shave while filming nearly left him in a Vietnamese jail, the power of wild swimming throughout the freezing winter months, and his favourite staycation spots .&nbsp;All that and more coming up on the travel diaries.&nbsp;</p><p><br></p><p>Destination Recap:</p><ul><li>Aegina, Greece</li><li>Port Quin, Cornwall, England&nbsp;</li><li>Epphaven Cove, Cornwall, England&nbsp;</li><li>Southern Africa</li><li>Gloucestershire, England&nbsp;</li><li>India</li><li>Bharatpur bird sanctuary, Rajasthan, India</li><li><a href="http://www.westendhotelmumbai.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">West End Hotel</a>, Mumbai, India&nbsp;</li><li><a href="https://www.rivercottage.net/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">River Cottage</a>, Devon, England</li><li><a href="https://www.tripadvisor.co.uk/Restaurant_Review-g186260-d6405018-Reviews-The_Bull_Inn-Totnes_Devon_England.html" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">The Bull Inn</a>, Totnes, England&nbsp;</li><li>Vietnam</li></ul><p><br></p><p>Hugh’s new book Eat Better Forever is out now.&nbsp;</p><p><br></p><p>Thank you Fujifilm for their support for today’s episode.
