Great British Food Revival: James Martin on Apples

A series in which ten of the BBC's best-known chefs and cooks are on a mission to popularise traditional British produce. Each chef champions a produce that is close to their heart but is in danger of being lost forever. They also demonstrate how to cook fabulous meals featuring these ingredients.

He discovers that we can all play our part in the revival by checking if that tree at the bottom of the garden is one of several hundred varieties thought to be extinct. He shows three delicious recipes that highlight the variation in flavour of this under-appreciated fruit
