PAUL PEACOCK is Mr Digwell for
The Daily Mirror and is a regular panelist on Radio 4's Gardener's Question Time. He has written a number of books on self-sufficiency, including the bestselling
Making Your Own Cheese. He runs his own online magazine on growing your own food and provides regular courses on self-sufficiency, including sausage making.
Author Paul Peacock has written over 30 books on gardening, self sufficiency, curing meats, making cheese and sausages, keeping bees and poultry. He writes for the Daily Mirror as Mr Digwell, the cartoon gardener - the longest running gardening newspaper column in the world.
He has been a regular contributor to BBC Radio 4's Gardener's Question Time and appeared on numerous television shows. He runs the www.citycottage.co.uk website dedicated to the simple idea that the best food you will ever eat is cooked at home.
Pauls passion for fish was kickstarted by a plate of fritto misto de mare, which remains his favourite dish (recipe in the book) and queenies cooked in cream topped with cheddar( recipe also in this book)!
He believes the best fish in the world come from UK waters, that's why everyone buys it, far and wide, and, as Paul points out in this book, it is a tragedy the British hardly eat any of it.
This book is hopefully a tiny step on the way to changing that.
