All the latest news and recipes from River Cottage

The wind has been whistling around River Cottage HQ in recent days and the fields have been touched with frost. The steely skies have occasionally been lifted by glimmers of winter sunshine, gifting us a hint of heart-lifting pink skies as the sun sets for the night. In the Kitchen Garden, it feels as if the plants too are hibernating, not just the clever animals. The ground is still hard and the chefs are making the most of the root vegetables. It is at this time of year when the River Cottage classic of Potato Dauphinoise is most welcome, so we've included it here for you to enjoy.      AN EVENING WITH TOM KERRIDGE - FRIDAY 25 MAY This is set to be a really brilliant evening, centred around a three course menu designed by Tom himself. Tom has been awarded two Michelin stars, one at The Hand and Flowers and one at his sister pub The Coach. Tom will be your host for the evening, and you'll have the chance to meet him before taking your seats.  BOOK NOW     River Cottage Festival     Prue Leith is the latest name to join the line up for the River Cottage Festival this August.
