Wild cooking at River Cottage with Tim Maddams

TV presenter, chef and tutor Tim Maddams, packs loads into his Wild Cookery day. We learned to forage and identify around seven fruit and herbs, fillet a mackerel, skin, joint a rabbit and pluck and debone a partridge. He also gave us a whistle stop tour of hot-smoking and meat-curing.
