In the accompanying BBC TWO programme, What to Eat Now, Valentine Warner took us on a mouth-watering, content-rich and beautifully filmed journey through the best of autumnal food. He charted the growth of his favourite ingredients from their first stirrings as seeds through to fully grown foods. Natural history filming techniques captured the life-cycle of everything from rabbit to mackerel through pumpkin. The programme then followed Valentine as he brought each ingredient back from the river, sea, woodland and field, shore or highland and launched it into ovens, pans and barbecues. He cooked 3-4 dishes in each episode, both indoors and out.
