James Martin is back in his Hampshire kitchen, serving up more than just celebrity banter this Thursday, June 26, at 2 PM on ITV1. This week’s Midweek Menu looks to dish out a trio of recipes, mixing the familiar with a dash of the unexpected, all with some help from a few friendly faces.
The episode sees Martin teaming up with a Cornish distillery to craft an iced parfait, a cool treat that might just become your new summer go-to. Chef Paul Ainsworth steps in to cook a seafood stew, a dish that often hits the right notes for a weekday evening. Kimberley Walsh joins James for a teriyaki steak preparation, with fellow chefs Galton Blackiston and Lenny Carr-Roberts also stopping by.
The hour also provides recipe ideas for using courgettes, a common garden vegetable that can sometimes stump home cooks. Expect Martin to pull out some favorites from his long-running Saturday Morning show, blending new ideas with tried-and-true dishes. For those after simple, appealing meals that don’t ask too much of a Thursday afternoon, this appears to fit the bill.
James Martin’s Midweek Menu airs Thursday, June 26, 2025, at 2:00 PM on ITV1.
