Rick meets the author of The Salt Path, Raynor Winn, and her husband Moth in the ancient apple orchard where she and Moth make delicious cider, filtered through straw, in the way it was a hundred years ago.
Inspired, Rick cooks a chicken, leek and cider gratin for his old friend John Harris, head gardener at Tresillian House, who regales Rick with his memories of cider-making as a boy.
Rick also delves into the rich history of the Cornish sea shanty, meeting an all-female group whose shanties celebrate the colourful lives of some fascinating Cornish women.
