Monty Don, Daube de Boeuf with macaroni gratin and a pinot noir

Nick and Angela welcome the UK’s favourite gardener to DISH HQ. Monty Don OBE is a horticulturist, broadcaster and writer. He made his TV debut on the gardening segment on This Morning, which led to further work with the BBC and Channel 4. In 2002, he was announced as the new lead presenter on Gardeners’ World, taking over from Alan Titchmarsh, and was the first self-taught horticulturist/presenter in the show's history. Monty has travelled the globe making programmes like Around the World in 80 Gardens and Monty Don’s Paradise Gardens, and presents the BBC coverage of The RHS Chelsea Flower Show. He has written many books on gardening, cooking and his beloved dogs. Angela prepares two delicious dishes by Diana Henry, Daube de Boeuf with a macaroni gratin for Monty, who loves to eat seasonal produce, and Nick pours a very special Californian wine, a  J Vineyards Russian River Pinot Noir. Around the table, our trio flick through Monty’s brand new book, The Gardening Book, which lays the perfect foundation to chat about their shared love of nature, seasonality and gardening recipes for any wannabe greenthumb.
