Hugh's remarkable recipes range from smoked eel with wild horseradish to bunny a la runny honey, from his famous "Up a Tree Pie", to a spider crab and seaweed supper. He even manages to whip up a wild gooseberry ice cream. From Cornwall to Scotland and Norfolk to North Wales, his search for the ultimate wild ingredients brings about memorable encounters with a host of rural characters, including white witches and wily poachers, oyster guddlers and fungus fanatics.
