THE RIVER COTTAGE FAMILY COOKBOOK, co-written with Fizz Carr, brings the River Cottage philosophy to the whole family. It will give pleasure to everyone: toddlers and grandparents, families discovering the fun of cooking together, and everyone who enjoys simple home-cooked food. From how to make butter from a jar of cream to how to make your own sausages, THE RIVER COTTAGE FAMILY COOKBOOK will inspire everyone with the magic and fun of cooking.

About Fizz Carr

Fizz was born and brought up in Sussex. After graduating from Exeter University she was runner up in the annual Vogue talent contest for young writers; she then worked in London for several years in magazine publishing.
After starting a family, with the birth of twins in 1992, she moved back to the South Downs to farm with her husband Stephen. Fizz is a passionate advocate of animal welfare and regularly holds farm visits for schools. Through her contact with children she has become painfully aware of how little so many young people know about the food that they eat, how it is produced and where it comes from. As an active member of her local branch of the European Movement, she would like to see a more ambitious legislative program to improve the welfare standards of animals on EU farms.
Fizz has five daughters - Charlotte, Georgie, Joey, Mattie and Ted - all of whom are enthusiastic about food and cooking.

It was 1998 when Hugh moved into the original River Cottage in Dorset, to start growing and rearing some of his own food. ‘River Cottage’ has since moved on, and has grown and developed, but we continue to stand for the same principles: self-sufficiency, food integrity, and the consumption of local, seasonal produce.
Today, River Cottage consists of several different projects...
River Cottage HQ (Park Farm) is our base for running courses and events inspired by the philosophy of the original River Cottage – ranging from a night’s dining and entertainment, through to courses in foraging, curing, gardening, breadmaking, butchery and more. For full details, see the River Cottage HQ Events and Courses homepage and meet the River Cottage Team.
River Cottage also has a Local Produce Store in Axminster, where we work with a wonderful collection of local and organic food & drink producers from the South West. We stock a wide selection of the very best local and seasonal provisions including milk, eggs, bread, meat, poultry, beers and wines. The Axminster Canteen annexed to the Local Produce Store serves meals during the day and is open for evening service and Sunday lunch.
We have also teamed up with our friends at Komedia to bring River Cottage to Bath. The Bath Canteen is open every day and like the Axminster Canteen, showcases the very best of what the South West has to offer.
Our other projects include series for television, regular food columns, and a range of books, DVDs and online courses, some of which you may already be familiar with. To keep up-to-date with our latest news, bookmark our News homepage, or sign up for our monthly newsletter.
River Cottage is not a charity, but does aim to be a ‘more than profit’ organisation. This means, firstly, that we are ready to re-invest much of our income in developing our ideology and the base of our activities.
It also means that we should be ready to hold back from, or turn down, business that conflicts with our ideology and our commitment to ethical business practice. Thirdly, we feel we should also be making links with, and finding ways to support, other organisations who share our ideas. (http://www.rivercottage.net/)
