The start of his third year at River Cottage finds Hugh happily ensconced with pregnant sheep and fattened pigs but as ever cash is in short supply. His long-term plan is to produce the ultimate free-range roasting chicken, but once that is set in motion with the purchase of three varieties of hen and an obliging Indian Game cockerel, he displays his normal ingenuity by selling home-made sorbets to tourists sweltering in the summer traffic jams, turning wood-pigeons into kebabs at the local race-course and even training Delia the pig to hunt for expensive truffles.
