The first episode follows two British staples, sea salt and Bramley apples - from an orchard in Kent, and a family-owned salt works in Maldon, Essex.

The second episode follows two British seasonal delights - succulent cherry tomatoes from the Isle of Wight and Cornish sardines - on a whistle-stop cross-country journey, before arriving at various locations, including the Google office's lunchtime menu, or as part of a mouth-watering feast for the GB Rowers squad.
Episode 3
This time free range eggs and raspberries are tracked from farm to final use - in a jar of jam bound for the royal household, a stunning tower of macaroons baked for a high society wedding, an ultimate burger topping, and sushi like it's never been seen before.
