Hugh entertains a group of fast food addicted city folk. With busy lifestyles and no desire to cook, the only solution seems to be buying something from the chinese, kebab or curry houses, which is definitely not the River Cottage philosophy. First up, it’s a group of finger-lickin’ chicken-lovers who are living off takeaways and cheap chicken portions from the supermarket. Hugh’s not afraid to use shock tactics in his mission to change their ways.

Hugh is faced with a group of self-confessed ready meal addicts. Hugh struggles to cope with their laziness, food foibles and squeamish approach to fresh produce.

Hugh deals with the takeaway townies: too lazy to cook, shop or even bung something in the microwave! Can he change their ways and turn them into competent cooks?
