Channel 4’s Batch from Scratch: Cooking for Less sees Joe Swash and The Batch Lady, Suzanne Mulholland, descend upon Port Talbot to tackle the Oatley family’s dinnertime dilemmas. Stuck in a rut of convenience foods, the family is experiencing both financial strain and health concerns. Can batch cooking offer a solution?

Suzanne introduces Laura and Adam to the magic of make-ahead meals, demonstrating how to prepare nutritious dishes like mince fajitas and chicken shawarma that can be easily frozen for later. Even frozen, pre-chopped onions make an appearance, proving that convenience and healthy eating aren’t mutually exclusive. Will the Oatley family embrace batch cooking as a way to save time, money, and improve their well-being?
