Enjoy the River Cottage experience

Cooking at River Cottage is a joyous blend of seasonality and sustainability. Created over 15 years ago by celebrated writer and broadcaster Hugh Fearnley-whittingstall, this little corner of Devon is totally committed to local ingredients, ethical sourcing and lavish feasting. Now, you can immerse yourself in the River Cottage experience at the 100-acre farm, home to their feasts and cookery school, where courses range from breadmaking and beekeeping to fermentation and hedgerow foraging. Each of the courses, many of which include a tour of the walled kitchen garden, aim to equip you with the recipes and techniques to inspire more culinary adventures at home as well as an understanding of their seasonal and sustainable approach. Online courses are also available, including How to Have a River Cottage Christmas. Until 31 December 2021, CL readers can get £50 off River Cottage in a Day and Much More Veg by going to rivercottage.net/courses and using the code Countryliving.
