What to expect from John and Lisa's Weekend Kitchen season 8
Lisa Faulkner and John Torode are both very excited to be back in the Weekend Kitchen, and when we spoke to them, they revealed what's on the menu for their Easter weekend series premiere, which Torode called 'a cracker!'
"We start with a French toast omelette that's having a moment on social media at the moment: you put two slices of bread in a pan with eggs, cheese and tomato, and fold it on top of itself. It's really simple and cool. Then we do a lovely roast leg of lamb with a herby crust and little crunchy potatoes that are just delicious", said Faulkner.
Torode added: "And as contestants on MasterChef always say how difficult chocolate fondues are to bake, we make an easy Easter egg pud that involves putting a fondant egg inside the chocolate pudding mix, so all the oozy bits come out of the middle as you open it!"
The MasterChef presenter went on to say that his star of the show was a warm Roast Chicken Salad packed full of gorgeous greens that his wife dreamt up, whilst Lisa also said to watch out for fish finger tacos in episode two, which is all about Speedy Spring Meals.
Beyond that, look forward to episodes on Picnic Lunches, Garden Party Pleasers, and plenty more dishes to make the most of all the bank holiday weekends (and the Coronation!) coming up this year.
Is there a trailer for John & Lisa's Weekend Kitchen season 8?
