Donal’s Family Kitchen – Episode 1
Series Overview:
Donal Skehan is back this autumn with brand-new TV series, filmed in his home kitchen.
The past 18 months has thrown plenty of curveballs at us all and Donal Skehan is no exception. Aside from the obvious lockdowns, throw in an overseas move, juggling two toddlers, writing a book and filming a brand-new TV show, there is seldom a dull moment in the Skehan household. However, there is always time to serve up good food and Donal’s Family Kitchen will help you do the same, kicking off from Wednesday 13th October at 7.30pm on RTÉ One, sponsored by Spar.
Being back home in Ireland and closer to his family, Donal recognises the necessity of those essential recipes that make a home kitchen tick, the classic dishes he comes back to time and time again for comfort and security. As life begins to return to normal, Donal’s Family Kitchen will celebrate those missed moments with extended family and friends, while his ‘Kitchen keepers’ are tried and tested recipes that you will return to over and over to satisfy the pickiest eaters!
The series provides a blueprint of recipes that allow you to manage the madness life throws at you and get a supper to the table that everyone wants to devour. With children back in school and everyone gradually returning to the office, the last thing you need is the headache of deciding what’s for dinner! Discover recipes that don’t require long lists of ingredients and avoid a last-minute dash to the supermarket with Donal’s time-saving tricks for mealtimes.
Like many of us during the last year and a half, Donal has found solace in the kitchen during lockdown, making recipes he knows himself, his wife and boys can enjoy together. Think cheesy beef shin lasagne, smoky chicken tacos and speedy pastas, there’s something for everyone. With more time spent in the kitchen, Donal’s love for baking has also been reignited and each episode includes recipes like his Swedish inspired cinnamon buns, a bright pink funfetti cake and his quick fix lemon curd pudding.
It’s time to send out the invites and set a few extra places at the table as Donal dishes up delicious lunch and dinner ideas packed full of seriously good flavours to share with the people we’ve missed the most!
Tune in every Wednesday on RTÉ One at 7.30pm from 13th October to catch Donal in action and get all the inspiration you could ever need to feed a busy family, entertain guests and impress your friends. Donal’s Family Kitchen has something for everyone and is guaranteed to give a little je ne sais quoi to your kitchen table without slaving away for hours!
