Tom Kerridge's Fresh Start - Season 1
Season 1
Episodes
Get Cooking
Tom recruits eight families keen to change their lives for the better. The first step of his plan is to simply get the families cooking more. To spur them on, he presents all the families with a goody box containing a starter pack of easy recipes and the ingredients for sausage and mash - a Tom Kerridge favourite. Instead of traditional mash, Tom's recipe uses sweet potato and swede. Chris and Kerry, arguably the least experienced cooks in the group, struggle a bit with the instructions, but eventually sit down to the first meal they have cooked together in 15 years.
Be the Boss
This week Tom introduces Step Two as he encourages his families to get organised.
Tom wants the families to follow his three rules to become boss of their kitchens. One: plan their meals ahead. Two: shop from a list. Three: instead of reheating shop-bought ready meals, batch cook their own with quick and easy recipes.
Start 'em Young
Tom's six-step plan for transforming family eating habits is nearing the half way stage. So far, the eight families are eating many more homecooked meals and have learnt how to plan ahead to save time and money. Now, for the third step of his plan, Tom wants to get everyone in the family helping out in the kitchen, not just one designated cook.
Be Healthy
Tom shifts the focus onto their health - using his recipes as inspiration to get his gang eating more fruit and veg.
Tom's brother Sam and his family come for lunch. Sam's not a big veg fan so is an ideal candidate for road-testing one of Tom's tasty veg-packed recipes - spicy beef lettuce cups. Tom stages a family cook-off with his brother, with niece Peyton as the judge. Tom explains the key to a
delicious stir fry is to prep all the ingredients in advance, as the cooking part only takes a couple of minutes.
Get Moving
For step five of his plan, Tom motivates his gang to up their exercise and eat the right food to fuel their bodies. He starts with his homemade energy bars - fruit and nut-filled flapjacks, the perfect snack for a workout. He takes a tin of them to his local tennis club where he meets up with the Roy Choudhury family. They have a history of heart problems in their family and want to make lifestyle changes to stay healthy but they don't know what sort of exercise they can all do together. Tom thinks that a tennis lesson from Chris, another member of the Fresh Start gang, will inspire the family to play the sport on a regular basis.
We've Got This
In the last part of his experiment, Tom gets his Fresh Start families to cook bigger dishes than ever before and tests whether they are healthier and happier than 12 weeks ago.
