"I’m lucky enough to spend most of my time eating, growing, writing and talking about food.
At my smallholding, Otter Farm, I grow the most delicious food I can think of - kiwis, sweet cicely, Japanese wine berries, pecans, quince, almonds and Szechuan pepper among them.

I have written four award winning books, including A Taste of the Unexpected (Food Book of the Year 2011). A Year at Otter Farm was published in June 2014. I used to be very idle, an environmental consultant, at River Cottage, though not necessarily in that order."

Steven Lamb is Head of Brand at River Cottage HQ

He teaches on several courses at the Cookery School but specialises in Curing & Smoking.

This is his passion.

"For me smoking and curing are the beginning of cookery. It is steeped in tradition and I like that connection. It was originally born out of necessity but has developed in to a culinary art. It bridges the gap between science and sorcery and allows any keen amateur to create fantastic, authentic cured goods."
