River Cottage Treatment

This week, Hugh comes face to face with the takeaway townies - too lazy to cook, shop or even bung something in the microwave! The gang includes Babs who works as a traffic announcer for a local radio station and between shifts munches on pizza, kebabs and Chinese; Julian's culinary skills amount to fried egg and toast preferring to use his cookery books to level ladders and Andre, a London taxi driver who prefers to eat his way around the capital and be cooked for by his mum and sister. The group are all fish out of water when it comes to the countryside and Hugh's aim this week is to persuade them to try their hand at cooking using only the freshest, local and organic ingredients. But part way through the week, the gang are faced with their old foodies favourites - will they give in to their cravings? The final chapter of the week sees them running their own organic take-away stall and cooking for hundreds of football fans. Will Hugh have turned them into a team of competent cooks in time for the big day, or will their lack of kitchen skills send them straight for the nearest chippy?
