British chef, writer, activist and teacher Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall is widely known and respected for his dedication to creating beautiful dishes comprised of seasonal, ethically produced food and raising a general awareness of where our food comes from. One of several impressive River Cottage books, The River Cottage Cookbook is as much a fantastic collection of gorgeous, simple, rustic dishes as it is an inspirational treatise on how one chef grows, gathers, and cooks his own food.  Join Barbara Lynch Gruppo’s Stir chefs for an enlightening evening full of discussion, cooking and eating.  The price is $145,  and the program will repeat on Tuesday, March 9 and Wednesday, March 10.  For information, or to register, log on to www.stirboston.com, or call 617-423-STIR.
