Episode Five Batch From Scratch - The Knight Family
Catch-em batching this week from Cambridge with the Knight family. Single parent of two, Darran, juggles his full-time teaching job with busy family life. Despite trying his best, mealtimes are repetitive and not very exciting, and he often relies on sauce jars and convenience food to get the job done, impacting their health and his already tight budget.
Watch the episode on Monday 17 March at 8pm on Channel 4 or stream on 4OD after the episode has aired.
Introducing the Knight family... ‘3 years into being a single dad cooking and I need something to change.’
In this episode, Joe and Suzanne help Darran make easy, homemade alternatives and experiment with different foods for a healthier balanced diet. Not only does this new way of cooking please his pocket and free up more family time, but the tasty, new dishes wow his kids. It’s smiles all round!
