BBC : Food Programme – Outdoor Cooking
Tuesday, July 13th, 2010
As the sun continues to blaze Sheila Dillon looks at the ups and downs of Outdoor Cooking. Do you remember when only slightly unusual people went camping? Not any more. It’s dead fashionable, thanks partly to music festival culture. It’s also reasonably cheap – or can be – and of course the warmer summers help, along with all the new gadgets and toys you can buy for life under canvas. But what to eat? Are you an empty-the-whole-kitchen-into-the-car camper? Or an I’ll-make-my-own-fire-or-die-in-the-process type? And is it lamb, barley and rosemary hotpot, or instant noodles all the way? We hear top tips from campers at the 7th Cornbury Music Festival. Meanwhile Simon Parkes visits the Amateur BBQ World Cup, and Sheila and food journalist Richard Johnson hang out in the back garden of Annie Bell, author of The Camping Cookbook, and marvel and drool as she produces gourmet dish after gourmet dish from her camping cooker. Jelly baby kebab anyone?
Producer Sukey Firth.

Half Ton Veg
Tuesday, July 6th, 2010
Once a year the crème de la crème of the UK’s giant vegetable growers strap their giant pumpkins to their pick-ups and compete to see who has grown the heaviest cabbage, the longest parsnip, and the most enormous onion at the UK Giant Vegetable Championships.
This documentary follows the fortunes of three of the main contenders – and their long-suffering wives.
‘Sometimes he’s had me out at four o’clock in the morning just killing red spiders!’ says Carmel, married to Joe Atherton. This Mansfield couple haven’t been on holiday for 30 years because Joe can’t be away from his outsized vegetables.
Peter Glazebrook has won every year for 10 years, thanks to meticulous planning and attention to detail. His wife Mary acknowledges: ‘I have a sneaky feeling that the veg come first – especially his onions.’
The young pretender to the giant veg crown is Ian Stott, a 36-year-old from Somerset. He’s struggling to fit his growing around a nine-to-five job and would take any prize.

Kill It, Cook It, Eat It
Wednesday, January 13th, 2010

Julia Bradbury hosts a series that shows exactly what it takes to turn a living animal into meat for the table.
The fourth series of the brand goes down to the farm to follow how animals are turned into fast food – cattle into burgers, lambs into kebabs, pigs into sausages and chickens into nuggets.
Following and helping will be a group of six volunteers who, by immersing themselves in the visceral experience, will be able to inform and challenge their beliefs in a show that debates the ethics around meat production and eating in the UK today.
This episode takes a look back through the highlights from the series, with added new material, following the journey the volunteers took when they came to Pipers Farm in Devon.
Whilst caring for the animals on the farm, the contributors chose the beasts for slaughter, which they then watched die at the local abattoir. With the meat from the fresh carcasses they made burgers, kebabs, sausages and nuggets. By making the connection between the living animals and popular meat products, the ethics of the meat industry could be debated.
Broadcast on: BBC Three, 2:20am Wednesday 13th January 2010

The Hairy Bikers: Mums Know Best
click above to watch the program
The Hairy Bikers: Mums Know Best is a celebration of the very best of home cooking in Britain. Si and Dave have toured the nation hunting out Britain’s lost family recipes – those forgotten gems and secret scribbles that have been handed down through the generations but are in danger of being lost forever.
In this programme Si and Dave are celebrating ‘family favourites’ – those dishes that speak of home and childhood and love. This celebration starts north of the border with visits to three Scottish mums. The Bikers discover what family recipes these mums have been treating their loved ones to over the years.
From a classic cheese pie and ‘rumpy-pumpy soup’ to samosas and a world of fantastic cakes, the Hairy Bikers sample them all and, inspired by the cooking of these mums, they take a trip down memory lane to cook their own family favourite recipes.
Their celebration of family food ends up (as all good celebrations do) in a field filled with nearly 200 mums tasting and sharing each others’ family-favourite cooking.
So join the Bikers as they set off on their biggest adventure to date – an adventure in the world of the fantastic cooking of Britain’s mums.

Jimmy Doherty sets out to discover if the world’s farmers will be able to feed us in the future.
Demand for food is expected to double within the next 40 years. Yet we can only grow food on four per cent of the earth’s surface, the climate is changing and resources like water and fuel are under threat. Jimmy meets the men and women who claim to have new techniques and new technologies that will help meet these challenges.
Jimmy starts his journey in the giant of South America – Brazil. He discovers how to turn poisoned land into a powerhouse of world food production, joins sugar cane cutters to see how Brazil has replaced half of all its petrol use with biofuel, and finds a way to save Caiman alligators from poachers. In the Amazon, Jimmy meets an unlikely cattle rancher who claims he can save the rainforest.
