"What am I going to cook tonight?"
Anyone who cooks regularly for friends, family or just for themselves will be very familiar with that question.
The difficult part is often not preparing the food - which can be enjoyably simple - but coming up with the ideas for things to eat in the first place.
In this series, Rachel suggests menus for the different kinds of meals that people who are interested in cooking have to prepare: a quick but stylish midweek dinner party; Sunday brunch; favourite winter comfort foods; a children's birthday party; a summer lunch - these are just some of the 13 different meals that make up the series. Using readily accessible but interesting ingredients, the series features dishes from around the world - Italy, Spain, Thailand, America, Ireland, Mexico and Vietnam are just some of the places which have inspired Rachel's suggestions.
Married, with two small children, Rachel knows what it's like to cook when you have a young family, a full-time job and many demands on your time. This series is aimed at people who like to cook, but often do not have much time to spend in the kitchen.
