Episode 3

Chef and culinary explorer Valentine Warner is hugely passionate about food and nature. He unearths the very best ingredients, as he travels the length and breadth of Britain on a delicious journey through heartwarming autumn food. He presents food that should be eaten this season, explaining how it grows and demonstrating mouth-watering ways to cook it.

One of Valentine's lasting childhood memories is the fabulous taste of his dad's pumpkin soup, and with this in mind he sets off in search of the perfect pumpkins. He makes a deliciously sweet onion tart, and at the Newent Onion Fayre his competitive streak comes to the fore as he attempts to break the record for eating a raw onion.

Plus, he tracks down the best beetroot in Britain for a scrumptious seasonal salad of beetroot and green sauce.
