About Rachel Allen’s Everyday Kitchen
Rachel Allen returns to deliver a collection of delicious, mouth-watering meals prepared with thrift, health and a little kitchen cunning in mind. Designed to help viewers get the most out of their lives, shopping budget and ingredients, each recipe in Rachel Allen’s Everyday Kitchen will demonstrate how to make money and food go further.
Each episode of the 13-part series will showcase a mix of three sweet and savoury recipes, and will be packed full of affordable, yet tasty hints and tips. All of the dishes will loosely work together, either linked by a key ingredient, or built around a specific event such as a family gathering.
These include cooking a roast chicken on Sunday; using the left over potatoes for a hearty tartiflette on Monday night; any remains of the cooked bird as the basis for a contemporary twist on a chasseur for lunch on Wednesday; and a delicious soup made with stock from the same carcass for a family day out on Saturday.
The series will also provide a unique insight into Rachel’s life through the combination of observational documentary segments and set-piece cooking. She will be filmed throughout different days in her life, whether it is time spent with her family or flying from Ireland to London to meet her book publishers.
At a time when everyone is conscious of making both their food and money go further, Rachel Allen’s Everyday Kitchen will provide a one stop shop for inspirational yet affordable meals.
