Chef, broadcaster, campaigner and Sunday Times bestselling author Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall is one of Britain’s most influential voices in food and sustainability. Best known for his hugely popular River Cottage series for Channel 4, Hugh has inspired millions through his award-winning cookery books and thought-provoking documentaries exploring food, farming and health. His acclaimed Fish Fight campaign earned a BAFTA, and he has twice been named Radio 4’s Food Personality of the Year. Passionate about simple, seasonal cooking and better health through food, Hugh’s latest book, High Fibre Heroes, continues his mission to make eating well both accessible and delicious.

High Fibre Heroes

Hugh will be discussing his latest book High Fibre Heroes, where he turns 12 everyday vegetables into 100 vibrant, flavour-packed recipes designed to boost health and transform the way we eat. From carrots and cabbage to lentils, leeks and broccoli, Hugh celebrates simple, affordable ingredients that can help tackle what experts now describe as a growing “fibre crisis” in the modern Western diet. Endorsed by gut health expert Tim Spector, the book combines practical nutritional insight with beautifully photographed recipes that are easy, joyful and full of flavour.Expect delicious dishes, clever kitchen inspiration and a fresh take on plant-forward cooking that proves healthy eating never needs to feel like a compromise.
