Unsung Heroes

Nigel Slater creates a week's worth of simple but delicious meals from ingredients that are often overlooked.

A sumptuous beetroot cake, a lentil and chard stew and a beef and ale casserole are all put together effortlessly as Nigel inspires us with his culinary ideas.

Nigel also visits Derbyshire and helps keen gardeners Ian and Kathy create amazing food from their plot.

The series is part of the 'Dig In' campaign.
