How can you make the food you grow last beyond the growing season? In this episode Martha and Jamie explore the Slow Food movement and the pleasure of building a homegrown pantry. From drying beans, chillies and herbs to making flavoured vinegars, pickles and sauerkraut, they share practical ways to keep using the harvest through winter. They also taste some unusual pickles, discuss the Ark of Taste and the traditional foods at risk of disappearing, and tackle a preservation-themed quiz.
