Batch from Scratch: Cooking for Less

Suzanne Mulholland and Joe Swash help a single mother in Aberdeen, who is struggling to get her kids into healthy eating habits, regularly prepares multiple meals, and often doesn't have time to sit down at the table to eat herself. Suzanne and Joe create a plan to cut costs, reduce sugar, simplify dinnertimes and get everyone involved, kids included.

Suzanne Mulholland and Joe Swash come to the aid of a fitness-mad Surrey couple whose contrasting cooking styles are putting a strain on their relationship. On the menu are Mexican frittata, lamb traybake and a tag-team paella, plus Suzanne's ultimate batching trick - five freezer-ready chicken meals rustled up in minutes.

Joe Swash and Suzanne Mulholland head to Nottingham to help a busy NHS family with two energetic children whose mealtimes are completely out of control. Emma is juggling shift work, clubs, cooking and a painful spinal condition, while Matt's long shifts mean he rarely cooks. Their hectic schedule has left them short on time, short on energy and spending almost £400 a week on food, with 22 shopping trips in a week.
