Mary takes inspiration from a great British tradition - growing your own on the allotment. She travels to the Tangmere Allotment in East Sussex where she meets people growing their own food, cooking, and sharing recipes. The visit inspires Mary to cook some of her favourite dishes including a recipe her own mother cherished - ginger orange poussin with freshly dug new potatoes, a classic chutney to use up any left-over harvest veg, and a dinner party treat of winter root vegetables using a new cut of lamb - the foreshank.
