Episode 2: Danny Jones & Pork

It's an exciting week on the farm. After the launch of the podcast Tommy and his team have been inundated with questions. They've welcomed ten new baby piglets. And the first special guest of the series has made the trip to Yorkshire.

In this episode McFly star and Masterchef finalist Danny Jones is on hand to help move some special-breed pigs, who seem a little reluctant to move. And after some time on the farm, Danny settles in to dinner, and discusses his early food memories, how a band tour to Asia set him on a quest to try more unusual dishes, and he decides on his most treasured seasonal ingredient.

Elsewhere in the episode, Tommy profiles a winter staple on his menu - the turnip. And he gives Danny a few tips to elevate his cooking further. And picks up a couple of new culinary ideas in return.
