Michelin-starred chef Charlie Lockley joins Pennie Latin to discuss barbecue cooking.

Michelin-starred chef Charlie Lockley and garden designer Wendy Matheson join Pennie Latin to discuss barbecue cooking and growing food in the garden.

Grow it, cook it, eat it! Throughout the summer The Kitchen Garden will be eating our way round gardens across the length and breadth of Scotland and what better way to kick off the series than with a barbecue.

This week we're at Boath House on the outskirts of Nairn. Head chef, Charlie Lockley is passionate about using fresh herbs and ingredients from the kitchen garden. Fresh herbs from garden go perfectly on the barbecue with some marinated rabbit, says Charlie. 

Garden designer and Boath House owner Wendy Matheson talks to Pennie about how she has transformed the walled garden from an overgrown field into an area that not only looks beautiful but works for the kitchen, providing fresh produce year round. 

Dan Holland meets garlic farmers Glen and Gilli Allingham to find out more about an ingredient with a twist in its tail, garlic scapes.

If you are wondering what jobs you should be doing the garden over the next few weeks then grow your own enthusiast Richard Crawford gives us some advice on how to keep on top of the garden and get the best from it.
