A Cook on the Wild Side

A Cook on the Wild Side is a television series in which celebrity chef Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall travels about Britain while trying to ostensibly gather the food he eats from the landscape (both rural and urban) during his travels, without the use of money. This is a forerunner to his River Cottage series that further explores self-sufficiency.

Two series were produced (aired in 1995 and 1997, respectively). The first series featured Hugh travelling in a modified Land rover (the "Gastro Wagon") and the second with him aboard a specially adapted motor cruiser river boat (the "Bain Marie").

A book was published to accompany the series.[1]
