James Martin is back in his Hampshire kitchen, serving up another helping of his Midweek Menu on Tuesday, June 24, at 2 PM GMT on ITV1. Episode 12 sees Martin putting a local spin on an international favorite, whipping up a satay sauce with peanut butter sourced from Cornwall. That’s a move that should give peanut butter fans something to think about beyond the usual toast.
The cooking continues with guest chef Lisa Goodwin-Allen, who prepares a panna cotta for Martin and Phil Howard. Expect a masterclass in dessert making, with tips on how to achieve that perfect wobble. Then, comedian Joe Pasquale drops by to sample some of Martin’s salt and pepper squid and prawns, a dish that always plays well on a casual afternoon.
Beyond the new recipes, Martin will revisit some past favorites from his Saturday morning show. He’ll also provide some instruction on how to cook pork chops correctly, a basic skill many home cooks get wrong. For those looking to elevate their weekday meals or just enjoy some easygoing culinary chat, Martin’s kitchen looks like the right place to be.
