Grow, Cook, Eat

TV Show · Documentary

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

EPISODE 1

The Potato

Far from humble, the potato is a great source of nutrition, and surely the most versatile vegetable in terms of how it can be cooked. Presenter Karen O'Donohoe joins the crew of a Thornton's Recycling bin lorry as it collects brown bins from an estate in Dublin and finds out exactly what happens to the vegetable peelings and grass cuttings we throw into the bins.

EPISODE 2

Tomatoes - A Meal in Themselves

Unfortunately, most of the imported supermarket tomatoes we buy taste of absolutely nothing at all. It is not until you grow your own that you realise this! The homegrown tomato is a delectable treat, and while a little TLC is required to grow them, it's worth the effort.

EPISODE 7

Peas

Peas are almost never available in the shops fresh, always frozen. As soon as a pea is picked from the plant the sugars inside it start to turn to starch which means the flavour starts to deteriorate immediately.

Onions

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.

EPISODE 2

Pumpkins

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.

EPISODE 3

Garlic

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!
