Couples who cook together, stay together and Lisa Faulkner and John Torode are certainly proof of that. The husband and wife duo are about to launch the fourth series of their ITV show, John & Lisa’s Weekend Kitchen, and have already had a fifth commissioned.
“We work very well together,” Lisa tells OK!. “We’re lucky.”
John, 54, and Lisa, 48, tied the knot last year in a stunning ceremony at Aynhoe Park in Oxfordshire. And though lockdown means their first year of marriage hasn’t been quite what they expected, it’s allowed them some quality time together as newlyweds.
“You appreciate the time you have together. I think we’ll look back at this time quite fondly,” says MasterChef judge John.
Here, the culinary couple spill the beans on working and living together, homeschooling, and the testing times of lockdown…
How does it feel to have spent much of your first year in marriage in lockdown?
John: We got married in October, eight months ago, so we’ve had nearly half the time in lockdown! But it’s been alright. I think we’re doing really well. I quite like it. I don’t think we’ll ever get an opportunity like this again in our lifetimes where you just have to stop. It gives you time to think about things and you appreciate the time together. I think we’ll look back at this time quite fondly, but of course it’s also been very sad with people losing family members.
