The Cottage Cooking Club - April Recipes


My dear fellow members of The Cottage Cooking Club:

Now we are at the beginning of April and therefore into our twenty-fourth and last month of preparing recipes from Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall´s “River Cottage Everyday Veg”.

PLEASE feel free to substitute or add local vegetables to the recipes as it is always best to cook with what you can find at your local farmers´markets and greengrocers.

But there is no reason to pull out those handkerchiefs (Taschentücher) quite yet. Because although we have reached the last ten recipes of "River Cottage Everyday Veg" and have cooked two full years together as a group, we shall continue cooking together in The Cottage Cooking Club with two more books. Starting in May, we will start to cook from "River Cottage Every Day" as well as "River Cottage Love Your Leftovers: Recipes for the Resourceful Cook" (this one is optional).
