Website of the Month - River Cottage Community

I'm a big fan of Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall and the River Cottage programmes and books.

Not that much help was needed with this Fly Agaric (Amanita muscaria):

The River Cottage Community website is an excellent resource for lovers of food, whether grown, caught or foraged - see http://community.rivercottage.net/.
