Stockbroker Fred Carr cooks a 60 pound pig on his home-made spit at his Cotswold retreat. For 25 years, Fred has been perfecting the art of spit roasting - it now resembles a scientific art. He once came across a spit in a market, took it home and thought he had better get something to go with it.
These days, everything from mixing the ideal stuffing to building the fire has benefited from his dedication. The preparation of the pig is not for the faint-hearted. It is a physical affair and one in which Fred and Hugh indulge some of their more primal instincts.
Artist Selina Snow devotes her life to food. She paints food, she collects bizarre foods wherever she goes and no meal would be complete without her obsessively photographing the food as her guests eat it.
As a child, Selina was introduced to the delights of French food and French markets by her dad. As a birthday treat for Peter, they both go to Boulogne for the day in search of authentic ingredients.
