About

Grow Cook Eat is a new series about how you can grow 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. Each programme focuses on a particular vegetable and takes us through the entire process, from sowing the seed, to harvesting and to cooking. This is a practical series, aimed at people with little or no knowledge, but who like the idea of being able to grow at least 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 ends with a recipe using the featured vegetable and cooked by one of our two chefs featured in the series.

Episodes

1. Onions

24m

sign up
In this first episode Michael and Karen focus on a household staple – the onion. Easy to grow and very low maintenance, both red and white varieties are sown in the raised bed with Karen holding back some of the sets for container growing.

2. Pumpkins

24m

sign up
In this second episode, Michael and Karen take a fresh look at the pumpkin and why it's a fantastic vegetable to grow, cook and eat during the year, rather than just buy, carve and dump at Halloween.

3. Sweetcorn

24m

sign up
This week's episode is all about the highs and lows of growing a more ambitious vegetable - in Michael and Karen's case, sweetcorn, and all they can say is third time lucky!

4. Courgettes

24m

sign up
Halfway through the series and it’s time to introduce the courgette or as Michael Kelly calls it, ‘The Vegetable of Mass Production’! Easy to grow in beds and containers so long as it is given plenty of milk (you read that right!), one plant can produce up to 40 courgettes. No wonder growers love to give them as presents at harvest time!

5. Kale

24m

sign up
Once a vegetable grown to feed cattle, but now a staple ingredient for juicers everywhere, Kale is the fifth vegetable to feature in this series. This highly nutritious vegetable thrives in both the raised bed and container - despite a pigeon attack that prompts Michael Kelly to cover each of the three varieties sown.

6. French Beans

24m

sign up
Who knew French Beans were so easy to grow? Michael Kelly says French Beans are one of the most straightforward vegetables to grow - both the climbing green, and dwarf purple varieties, do really well in the glasshouse, raised bed and container.

7. Chilli Peppers

24m

sign up
In this final programme of the second season, it’s all about the chili pepper, which is very hot, but also very easy to grow. Chef Katie Sanderson puts the presenters’ taste buds to the test with an Indian chilli pickle, tamarind sauce with yoghurt and poppadoms, and Karen O’Donohoe and Michael Kelly can just about stand the heat.
