In an earlier series we had a thread for this series:

I really loved the previous series and am really enjoying the current one - Clarissa Dickson-Wright's enthusiasm for British garlic yesterday was inspiring (although I could have done without hearing about her 'passionate' nights with a garlic lover _pale_! ). The last series meant I have never bought cheese other than British cheese since!

But is it money saving? I find that finding local produce or farmers market produce is very expensive and I think a lot of people on here buy imported supermarket food due to price and budget. What do other people think?

I think you might be surprised that many on here are great advocates of buy less, buy british and buy quality where possible. Farmers markets are more expensive but I find, where we are anyway, the quality is better so stuff lasts longer and there is not as much waste. I Use a local farm shop which sells local produce.
I also think the tide is turning, where people can, to move away from supermarket buying over to smaller businesses.
Quite like Clarissa at times but she can be a little irritating too!

Hello,

Does anyone know where the recipes are for the second series, I would love to try some of the rhubarb and pear recipes.

Thanks

I'm going to try the garlic and fudge tart! This incidentally is a great recipe website for all the BBC programme recipes and also just general recipe searching.

It might not be money saving (though my experience is that buying local is ). MSE isn't meant to be all about saving money, though - it's more about doing what you want to do for the best price :T

For instance, buying organic isn;t the cheapest way to buy food, but this site can help you buy organic for the best price possible :money:

As this has fallen from the front page of OS, I'll add it to the exisitng thread on GBFR
