People have to be paid for there labour .
It would be nice if we could all do it for nothing or for pennies.
£175 is cheap compared to alot of courses in charcutarie and butchering.
Some cooking courses are £300 a day.
At the end of the day you can't beat learning from a pro.
A good teacher is worth a thousand books.

I got `Hugh and Ray`s Pig in a day` DVD and its really useful. I can rerun the complicated bits till I get it right. I also have adapted some of the techniques like soaking the bacon for half an hour before frying and it makes fantastic breakfast rashers.

Good for you, Phil. The point below about £175 for the course does seem to exclude a lot of simple folk that HFW depicts as friends in his series. Fine if it's corporate entertainment or Jamie is footing the bill for 15. The River Cottage set-up looks pretty smart these days as a result. Good for Hugh and Rick Stein and Jamie (and Argos if they really have £6 clothes rails); they sell what people want.
Thats especially true for Ray their butcher, what a great bloke and really knows his stuff. I went down again this year for smoking and curing and equally as good.

I really like River Cottage but it is a lot easier to lead the good life if you have a stream of well-paid city-dwellers ready to fund your lifestyle.

Certainly not a 'well paid city-dweller' just prefer to spend my hard worked cash on hobby other than drinkin' an' smokin'
