    Local provenace is everything says Bruce Elsworth, the Dales Chef, who grew up eating straight from the farm. He says we are now going back to those traditional values, with more and more of us enjoying our food from farm to fork, rather than mass produced foods from the supermarkets. It tastes so much better says Bruce, and knowing where its come from helps too as buying direct helps the local economy and cuts down on food miles. We talk about some great local farm shops - Robertshaws and Holme Farm Eastby as two examples. From lucky dip veg boxes to muddy potatoes, a glut of gooseberries just when they are ripe to sizzling sausages from a local butcher, Bruce is a real champion of experiencing local produce direct from the farm.

    Think pasta, think Italy - or so we thought. Pasta is originally from China and today we find out why. We look at some great ways to cook pasta and is fresh or dried best? We sample pasta from the Yorkshire Pasta Company, based in Malton, North Yorkshire - that definitely gets our thumbs up! We've fun facts and also remember the day the BBC fooled the country with pasta growing on spagetti trees!

    There is more to eating outside than a BBQ burger in a bun. In this episode of the Dales Chef, Bruce looks at the many ways we can enjoy eating outside. From a picnic on the beach, to a lovely afternoon in the garden with friends. Home made lemonade, some zingy salads and some protein with a twist - that's what makes a great family afternoon in the back garden. We look into the origins of outdoor eating - and what does 'al fresco' really mean? Summer in the Dales, with the Dales Chef - there's nothing better :)
