Chef and passionate foodie Valentine Warner returns for a second series of his guide to seasonal cooking and eating, and this time he has set his greedy sights on the culinary delights of summer. Each week, Val will be taking us through the very best of summer’s ingredients, showing us the food we should be eating now, how it grows and how to cook it.

This programme is bursting with mouthwatering recipes as Valentine tracks down the best ingredients to make your summer barbecue sizzle. He reveals his top five barbecue tips, the perfect way to cook beef on the grill, and how to make a lobster meal that will take you to a higher state of consciousness. Don’t waste time and money eating tasteless food flown from thousands of miles away. The best way to eat is to eat food that is in season – it is plentiful, cheap, packed full of flavour and, cooked Valentine’s way, it is always absolutely delicious.
