Marcus Wareing visits the UK鈥檚 only wasabi farm to learn how to grow wasabi and makes a batch of his very own lavender gelato.
Marcus rediscovers some wasabi plants in his kitchen garden and decides to find out more about them. Heading to the UK鈥檚 only wasabi farm, he learns all about how to grow this temperamental plant. The farm also produces watercress, and he picks up some tips for this nutritious crop too.
Back at the smallholding, Marcus checks on his ducks and gathers up a glut of lavender to take to local gelato maker Grant. The proud creator of over 350 flavours, Grant teaches Marcus about the gelato-making process as they put his lavender to use.
Back home, Marcus replants his wasabi by the pond and makes some delicious watercress soup for him and Jane to enjoy with a glass of cold rose.
