In this week’s “Batch From Scratch: Cooking For Less,” Joe Swash and batch cooking guru Suzanne Mulholland – aka The Batch Lady – come to the rescue of the Brooks family in Falkirk. Mum Erin, a family support coordinator, struggles with chronic fatigue, making it tough to put nutritious meals on the table for her three teenagers.
The family’s less-than-enthusiastic nicknames for Erin’s cooking – “disaster pasta” and “barf Bolognese” – paint a clear picture of the mealtime struggles. While Joe tackles dad Ally’s time-wasting shopping habits, Suzanne teaches Erin the art of batch cooking, offering strategies and recipes for veggie-packed sauces, a foolproof roast chicken dinner, and a freezer full of ready-to-go meals.
Can Suzanne’s batch cooking wisdom and Joe’s shopping intervention transform Erin from a culinary casualty into a confident meal planner? Find out on Channel 4, Monday, 10 March at 8 PM.
