Quick, simple food that is within the capabilities of the most inexperienced cook. Each programme takes us through a week's worth of simple suppers which explore the idea of cooking with our instincts and appetites rather than rigidly following recipes word for word. Series 1 was first shown in Autumn 2009. Series 2 in 2010.
