This is a question Unemployed

I was Mordred writes, "I've been out of work for a while now... however, every cloud must have a silver lining. Tell us your stories of the upside to unemployment."

You can tell us about the unexpected downsides too if you want.

Huge Furry-Whippingtool is one of my favourites
proper old fashioned cooking.

I find Heston Blumenthal quite engaging. Obviously you can't watch him for recipe ideas, but some of his recent Feasts shows have been interesting and entertaining!

Yeah
One of the best things about Hugh Fearnley whatshisname is the vast majority of the time he is self-sustaining (growing his own food etc, customising the cottage) and that he loves to get in touch with the British roots.

That episode where he went to a cider festivel and went a bit wild on cider was a classic.

He's also well into "nose to tail" eating which is brilliant. Love reading recipes about pigs trotters and shin of beef - the cheaper cuts. All excellent!

Nigella is such a fucking slut though...

Try Hugh's spring chicken recipe
It's amazing - just loads of fresh herbs, butter and wine - it's utterly divine.

Hugh is mad as a badger, but his programmes are excellent viewing and his books are good too. Sadly I lost my copies as my ex wouldn't let me take them - I got Nigella and Jamie, he kept Hugh and Delia.
