Cooking and gardening days with Lotte Duncan & Toby Buckland
UKTV Food chef Lotte Duncan has teamed up with Toby Buckland, TV gardener and author, to bring you a day combining two perfect companions cooking and gardening.
The Day
Your day will begin with some coffee and homemade cakes or biscuits, and then Lotte demonstrate what you will be eating for lunch. During the winter you'll eat lunch in Lotte's cosy dining room and in the summer, outdoors amongst the flower borders.
Lotte uses local produce wherever possible and ALL her recipes are seasonal using fruit and vegetables grown within the rhythm of our seasons. After lunch Toby will take over and he is yours for the afternoon!
Toby has devised an afternoon of gardening ideas, tips and techniques for each specific month that the course is offered. More Autum dates to follow.
