Episode 3

At midnight, Hugh hunts down slugs that are eating his vegetables. The next day, he and Michael Michaud inspect the River Cottage garden and enjoy some carrots, fennel and courgette for lunch. Hugh decides to compete in the Beaminster Horticultural Society's Summer show, and meets with veteran competitor Roy Gunning and his wife Barbara to get some advice. Hugh prepares a vegetable chutney to enter in the show.

Next, Hugh goes diving for spider crabs and prepares linguine with crab for his diving companions.

At the vegetable show, Hugh's raspberry jam and Victoria sponge win first prize. He also presents a selection of six vegetables which wins third prize. Roy once again wins in the category of "longest bean" but narrowly misses winning the challenge cup.

Hungarian Summary:

A híres tévés szakács, Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall egyszer csak úgy döntött, hogy maga mögött hagyja a nagyváros zaját, és vidékre költözik. Ezután kellemes, nyugodt élet vár rá – gondolta. De ez valóban így történt? Mindennapi teendôi korántsem voltak könnyûek, hiszen az volt az elképzelése, hogy ennivalójának alapanyagait saját maga fogja megtermelni, begyûjteni vagy zsákmányul ejteni. Megbirkózik-e vajon egy eddig vérbeli városi fickó a sertés- és baromfitartás problémáival, kitanulja-e a különféle ehetô halfajok és más vízi élôlények elejtésének fortélyait? A zöldségtermesztés sem egyszerû eset! Hiába vetjük el ugyanis a magokat, növényeink bizony nem nônek csak úgy, maguktól, vagy legalábbis nem úgy, ahogyan szeretnénk. Amikor azonban a nyersanyagok bekerülnek a konyhájába, hôsünk rögtön elemében érzi magát. Tökéletes magabiztossággal és találékonysággal varázsol elénk édes és sós ínyencfalatokat egyaránt. Sôt a helyi gazdák körében évente megrendezett zöldségkiállításon is sikeresen „domborít”.
