Hello,
I've been lucky, over the last few years, to be able to take my passion for the environment into new areas. In 2016, I travelled to Mozambique to uncover some disturbing facts about the illegal ivory trade. And last month I returned to Africa, this time to Rwanda, to learn about the mountain gorillas living there in the stunning Volcanoes National Park. It was a happier experience than my earlier trip: although these gentle giants are critically endangered, there is hope for them, thanks to the work of wildlife charity Fauna & Flora International, with whom I'm delighted to be collaborating. Seeing the gorillas at close hand was a truly exhilarating, never-to-be-forgotten experience. And learning about their crucial role in the mountain eco-system brought home to me the importance of the fight to save them. To find out more, see fauna-flora.org. I returned home to a garden full of good things – celeriac and kale, beetroot and raddichio, apples, pears and autumn raspberries – and I've been having a great time coming up with new ways to use them all. If you caught me on Saturday Kitchen last Saturday, you'll have seen me cooking up a delicious early-autumnal salad of char-grilled roots, fruits and leaves. Autumn veg responds so well to the heat of the grill and I definitely recommend you try it!
Feast well in October, and I'll be back next month,
Hugh | | If your thoughts are beginning to turn to Christmas then why not consider one of our special Christmas events?
