On this episode of the podcast we talk to Michael Kelly, a community food growing expert, whose organisation Grow It Yourself (GIY) empowers people to grow their own food.
Michael founded GIY in 2008 after 10 years in IT. It all started from growing garlic in his garden and now it has grown to empowering hundreds of thousands of people to grow their own food in their homes, workplaces or schools.
This book on growing vegetables from GIY features seasonal recipes from over 35 of the biggest names in food, including Hugh Fearnley Whittingstall, Dylan McGrath, Donal Skehan, Darina Allen, Rachel Allen, Neven Maguire, Clodagh McKenna and many more.
Packed with advice on setting off on your food growing journey; Grow Cook Eat includes everything you need know from what to do in the veg patch each month, and seasonal recipes to turn your produce in to delicious home-grown meals.
