Send Lizzie a message!In this week's episode, I'm so excited to be back for a new season of Second Nature! It's been a busy few months in my garden, and I can't wait to share some of the highlights from my greenhouse, including updates on my first tomato and cucumber harvests. But that's not all—I'm thrilled to be joined by a very special guest, the incredibly talented Josh Smalley, a contestant from the Great British Bake Off.Josh and I dive into a fascinating conversation about the intersection of gardening, baking, and science. We'll chat about his life after the Bake Off and his passion for science communication, especially when it comes to getting kids interested in food and chemistry. We also get into the nitty-gritty of gardening challenges (hello, unpredictable weather!) and share some practical tips for making the most of seasonal produce.You'll hear all about how Josh's family influenced his baking journey and some of the creative ways we can use up a surplus of things like apples and courgettes. And in a true Second Nature first, we even team up to make a pizza using fresh ingredients straight from my garden. Plus, you'll get a sneak peek into Josh's new book feature, 'The Science of Flavour'. It's a fun and jam-packed episode with plenty of laughs, stories, and a whole lot of deliciousness. I can't wait for you to listen! 🎧Website: www.second-nature.co.ukEmail us: [email protected] media: @second_natureukHost: @lizziemuddyheelsmac
