Episode 4 of 6, RTÉ One, Wednesday March 22nd, 8.30pm

Time was people took a whole hour at lunchtime, some even had their dinner in the middle of the day. Now the average Irish person spends around ten to twenty minutes on lunch, eats at their desk and what they eat is often bought in a rush.

Philip Boucher-Hayes looks at some favourite lunchtime choices: wraps, soup, salad and sushi and finds out how they’re made and what’s in them. Mexican grocer and chef Lily Ramirez-Foran shows Philip how an authentic Mexican tortilla is made while Cork-based chef Takashi Miyazaki teaches him how to make his own sushi.

In the kitchen, chef Hilary O’Hagan-Brennan challenges Philip to see if members of the public will choose her homemade soup over his shop-bought competitor and dietitian Aveen Bannon demonstrates how not to ruin the nutritional goodness of salad.

In the food lab, Philip finds out how Hilary’s soup fares against its shop-bought equivalent.

Series Overview

Philip Boucher-Hayes looks at what it takes to achieve a ripped body, getting behind the nutri-babble and bro-science advice as What are You Eating? returns for a brand new series.

In a second season of the popular food series What Are You Eating?, Philip Boucher-Hayes continues his journey of discovery into how and what we eat in 21st century Ireland.

This time, over six episodes, he serves up twenty four hours of Irish mealtimes beginning with the pre-gym snack and finishing with a late night takeaway.

Keeping an eye to current trends, he looks at food fashion and fads, tries a lifestyle change by hitting the gym, and finds out how our increasingly busy lives are shaping every single aspect of what we eat and how we think about food and cooking.

Chef Hilary O’Hagan-Brennan returns to delve into how some of our favourite foods are made whilst at the Food Lab scientist Billy Coleman reveals some surprising results in a series of scientific tests.
