Grow, Cook, Eat

Grow Cook Eat is a practical series responding to the burgeoning interest in growing your own food: you can grow vegetables and fruit in a very small garden, or even in containers on an apartment balcony. You don’t need half an acre or a poly tunnel to do it.

Aimed at people with little or no knowledge, but who like the idea of being able to grow something themselves. As well as the step-by-step guides to growing vegetables, there are features on building raised beds, making a compost heap and improving soil fertility.

Each programme focuses on a particular vegetable and takes us through the entire process, from sowing the seed, to harvesting and to cooking.

The programme ends with a recipe using the featured vegetable and cooked by one of our two chefs featured in the series.
