River Cottage: Summer's Here

6:00pm – Thursday, April 26 on ABC1

River Cottage celebrates the strawberry this summer with a massive strawberry fete. In preparation for it, Hugh and the River Cottage gardeners, Mark Diacano and Victoria Moorey, plant strawberries in every available space; boots, hanging water bottles and even old chamber pots! Eventually when the first strawberries appear, Hugh turns them into the ultimate berry-tastic breakfast.

River Cottage baker Dan Stevens sets baker’s apprentice Sarah Bilson her final challenge. She must bake a perfect sweet scone. Hugh teams up with ‘Pam the Jam’ to concoct a couple of strawberry jams with a surprising twist.

Hugh and Tim spend time fishing for a trout before ‘Strawberry day’ arrives and Hugh has his work cut out for him as he hosts a party for 500.
