Series overview

In this new eight-part series Catherine Fulvio visits families across Ireland who show her how to make their favourite family dishes, before travelling to locations around the world to recreate these ‘tastes like home’ for family members now living abroad.  Over the eight episodes, Tastes Like Home revisits Cape Town and Johannesburg in South Africa, Vancouver and Tiny Township in Canada, San Sebastián and Barcelona in Spain, as well as Dubai & Portland, Oregon to capture eight individual stories, from contestants who refuse to let the physical distance from home curb their appetite for a home-cooked meal that “Tastes Like Home”.

Episode 1

This week in episode one, Tastes Like Home is a little different as it looks back at Catherine’s time in South Africa where she visited Cape Town and Johannesburg. Catherine will teach viewers some new recipes including Biltong Bruschetta with Irish Farmhouse Cheese, Nectarines and Balsamic Glaze and a Boerewors, Parmesan    polenta with a charred onion and mustard gravy. All of these dishes are inspired by local dishes and flavours Catherine experienced whilst visiting South Africa.

Catherine said of her South Africa experience, “A melting pot of wonderful flavours, from Cape Malay to street style in Soweto, but when the production team said that we were going to be trying “Walkie Talkies”, I could never have bene prepared for the grilled Chicken Beaks and Feet! I can’t say that they were delicious but the passion behind the south African food culture had me sold.”

The fifth series of Tastes Like Home is sponsored by Belling.
