James Martin’s Midweek Menu: Jane McDonald (ITV1, Wednesday, 4 June, 2025)

James Martin's Saturday Morning

Comfort food takes centre stage on Wednesday’s episode of James Martin’s Midweek Menu, as singer and presenter Jane McDonald joins chef James Martin for a culinary catch-up. Airing at 2:00 PM on ITV1, the episode features a classic shepherd’s pie prepared especially for McDonald—a hearty centrepiece to a menu that also includes cheeseburgers and a Basque cheesecake how-to.

While McDonald settles in for the main course, Martin whips up cheeseburgers for chef Jose Pizarro. Lenny Carr-Roberts adds a touch of spice with his piri-piri chicken, while Martin rounds out the desserts with a masterclass in Basque-style cheesecake. Expect the usual mix of simple instructions, big flavours, and approachable cooking—a formula that continues to make Martin’s series a staple for fans of no-fuss food.
