Steven Lamb

Steven Lamb is a linchpin of the whole River Cottage operation. He teaches on several courses at the Cookery School but specialises in curing and smoking meat. Steven appears in the TV series, regularly presents on the FoodTube channel and wrote the award winning River Cottage Curing & Smoking Handbook. 

Beyond River Cottage, Steven’s extensive food knowledge and talent for live hosting has put him at the centre of many of the best food shows and festivals, either leading his own cookery demonstration or compering the live stage for emerging and celebrity chefs. 

 Always keen to share his knowledge, Steven regularly teaches at other UK and International cookery schools, and also uses his experience to consult on food projects for individuals and large organisations. He guest writes on an array of subjects for print and online and is working on the next River Cottage handbook.
