Wartime Kitchen and Garden

Taking viewers back to the days when Hitler’s U-boats patrolled the Atlantic and imported foods were scarce, this series – new to UKTV Gardens – looks at how World War II affected those left behind in Britain who had to fend for themselves.

In a bid to get around rationing, people who had never gardened before started to grow their own fruit and vegetables, and learned to enjoy fare such as spam and nettle soup.

This series includes personal memories from presenters Ruth Mott and Harry Dodson, as well as tales and anecdotes from the many people who remember wartime cookery and gardening.

Recreating a wartime kitchen and garden, the series investigates how people really survived during the War and what went onto family tables.
