Channel 4’s “Batch from Scratch: Cooking for Less” continues its mission to simplify mealtimes and stretch budgets this Monday. In this episode, Joe Swash and batch-cooking expert Suzanne Mulholland, aka The Batch Lady, head to Cambridge to help the Knight family. Single dad Darran, a full-time teacher, struggles to juggle his demanding job with the needs of his two young children. Dinnertime has become a battleground of convenience meals and takeout, impacting both the family’s finances and their nutrition.
Suzanne steps in to bring order to the chaos, reorganizing Darran’s kitchen and sharing her time-saving batch cooking techniques. She equips Darran with a repertoire of delicious, batchable recipes, from a simple sausage traybake to a flavorful slow-cooked beef Massaman curry and even pizza-flavored stuffed chicken breasts – guaranteed kid-pleasers.
With the kids joining in to help lighten their dad’s load, the episode becomes a heartwarming testament to the power of family and the importance of shared meals. Joe returns later to check on the Knight family and see how Darran’s newfound batch-cooking skills have transformed their once-hectic lives. Tune in to Channel 4 this Monday at 8:00 PM to see the results.
