Season 1

To kick off the series, Donal shares his love for a real family favourite - pasta! Using simple tips and flavour hacks, Donal shows us four new ways to prepare pasta.

Donal brings us four internationally inspired-bowls - a Citrus Pork Bowl; a Chicken Katsu Bowl; Tomato & Chickpea Orecchiette Soup; and a Middle Eastern Lamb Bowl.

Donal takes us through four recipes using minimal ingredients for those days you really don’t want to haul home a big shopping list!

Donal has three great recipes that lets you cook up a feast fast, allowing you more time to spend with friends - Pork Belly; Thai Fish & Veggie Stew; and Lamb Mince Flatbreads.

Don’t have time to spare? Donal’s got four recipes that are a whiz. Starting with a brown-butter fried fish, gnocchi al limone, sticky pork belly jerk and a ribeye steak platter.

For those evenings you want to be anywhere but washing lots of pots after dinner, Donal has four recipes that are one pan wonders.

Taking inspiration from the recipes he grew up with, Donal shares some firm family favourites that would be a hit in any household.

This week I’m working culinary magic with leftover ingredients, starting with an indulgent cauliflower mac and cheese, enhanced by crispy breadcrumbs and smoky chorizo. I turn whatever veggies are languishing in the fridge into Korean-style veggie pancakes, spiced up with gochujang. I’ve also got ideas for transforming leftover rice into a comforting, flavour-packed Thai soup. And, for the ultimate dinner upgrade, I give a sophisticated twist to the nation’s beloved go-to meal: Spaghetti Bolognese.
