Duration: 55 minutes

First broadcast: on BBC Radio OrkneyLatest broadcast: on BBC Radio Scotland Highlands and Islands

Chef Neil Forbes shares his enthusiasm for smoking various foods with Pennie Latin and the team. From fish to garlic, cheese to meat Neil talks about the versatility of home smoking and advises how to get it just right.

Neil cooks two dishes live outside in the gardens of the BBC in Inverness: smoked trout, broad beans, radish and creme fresh and smoked mull chedder with broad beans, mint and watercress.

Gardener Erica Randall talks about growing and harvesting broad beans and peas and the importance of choosing the right crops to plant in behind once you've picked them.

Pennie visits Penicuik's Lost Gardens to find out how the second year of their project is going. It's a massive 50 year plan to restore the gardens to their heyday when they were one of the greatest kitchen gardens in the country.

We may be at the height of a superb spell of summer weather but Erica says now is the time to start planting your winter crops and shares her advice on how best to go about it. Show less
