What can we expect from this episode

Marcus recalls seeing wasabi plants in his vegetable garden and decides to learn more about them. He visits the sole wasabi farm in the United Kingdom to gain insight into cultivating this finicky plant. He also learns some techniques for growing watercress, another crop grown on the farm.

Marcus returns to his small farm to check on the ducks and gather an abundance of lavender to sell to gelateria owner Grant. Grant, who has developed more than three hundred and fifty different flavours, shares his expertise in making gelato with Marcus as they use some of Grant’s lavender.

Marcus goes home and replants his wasabi by the pond before making watercress soup and serving it to himself and Jane alongside a chilled glass of rose.

Marcus Wareing steps back from his hectic schedule to spend more time expanding his smallholding in East Sussex with the help from the country’s very best British producers.
