It’s been several weeks since Hugh took a lease on a collection of barns near his new farm in Dorset. He plans to turn them into a culinary headquarters – a place he can use as an outlet for his home-grown and home-reared food and for hosting seasonal dinners for paying customers. The place is still filled with mud and muck however, but Hugh has got to get it up and running as quickly as possible if this is going to be a successful business venture. He sets himself a ludicrous two-week deadline to create a working kitchen and a charming dining room out of the filth, after which he hopes to kick off his themed seasonal nights with an opening Valentine’s Night Special.

On May Day every year you can find the Wessex Morris Men dancing on the Cerne Abbas Giant. Crowds gather to watch the event and this presents Hugh with the perfect opportunity to make some cash selling chocolate waffles. It’s also the opening night of The River Cottage HQ. For the first time Hugh hopes to serve food to 40 paying guests and he wants to cook them something spectacular. He chooses lobster. There’s been a report of a three-foot lobster living on a wreck off the Dorset coast, and Hugh and his diving pal Tim Rudkin set off with a giant home-made metal trap to try and catch it.

Spring spells many new arrivals at Hugh’s farm. Maggie has given birth to 11 piglets, and they are today joined by two new lambs. The season has also kick-started the social calendar. Hugh has been invited to an Easter Blossom Picnic Party, where the stakes are high in a competition for the best picnic. Hugh gets into the swing of things and, with mushroom-hunter John Wright, goes to great lengths to find one of the most prized seasonal mushrooms around – morells – for his picnic terrine. Later, in return for one night of his sweaty services, master baker Aiden gives Hugh a crash course in bread-making, an area of culinary expertise in which Hugh certainly has room for improvement. Armed with trays of fresh bread rolls and a ham, Hugh helps Aiden sell the produce at the Powerstock local cider festival.

It’s high summer and the season's underway for Dorset's carnivals and regattas. Never one to miss an opportunity for trade, Hugh teams up with Lyme Regis fisherman John Wason to catch, cook and flog John’s favourite fruit of the sea – whelks. Spiced up with some exotic ingredients from the polytunnel, they sell them on the beaches on Carnival day — before being roped into a bizarre annual fancy dress pub crawl. Back at river Cottage HQ Hugh's tomatoes are looking spectacular. He decides to hold an event in their honour, and the inaugural West Dorset tomato festival is born. There's more weird and wonderful shapes and sizes of tomato than you ever dreamed of, a hotly contested ketchup making competition, and even tomato ice cream.
