John and Lisa's Weekend Kitchen

John and Lisa are in their Weekend Kitchen with a host of recipes all perfect for when time is of the essence.

Lisa makes John his favourite comfort food - her gorgeous sausage and sourdough bake and John has spaghetti carbonara that his children request time and time again! There's a root vegetable and feta tray bake, that's as simple as it is delicious, and a wonderful strawberry and almond pudding for afters.

Joining John and Lisa are their friends (and Masterchef winners) Dhruv Baker and Shelina Permalloo - they will be making some of their own favourite dishes - including chilli and lime chicken and a beautiful Mauritian curry.

You can’t beat a lovely apple crumble and Lisa’s recipe is certain to tempt taste buds.

The ultimate barbecue dessert, this roasted treacle toffee bananas recipe from Levi Roots is an absolute treat.

The brilliant Levi Roots has a delicious chicken burger recipe up his sleeve, hungry mouths won’t be able to resist gobbling them up at your barbecue.

If you love a mojito and you’re looking for a refreshing cocktail to impress your barbecue guests with, then look no further. John brings us his take on the ever popular mojito.

Come rain or shine, try these beautiful paneer skewers, impressive on the eye and sure to please your guests - even if the weather doesn’t step up to the plate.

Simple and scrumptious springs to mind for this smashed tomato on toast recipe. Cook the tomatoes on coals for a gorgeous and flavoursome snack.

This Asian slaw is super speedy to whiz up. Infused with chillies and sesame seeds, your guests will be asking for more slaw.
