TOM KERRIDGE'S SUNDAY LUNCH

NEW MON, 9PM & 9.30PM, FOOD NETWORK & DISCOVERY+ COOKERY

For those of us whose Sunday lunches never turn out quite as well as we’d hoped, help is at hand in the shape of Tom Kerridge.

In his new Food Network series Tom Kerridge’s Sunday Lunch, the Michelin-starred chef shows us how to ensure every dish is perfect when it arrives on the table and, as well as making the traditional Sunday roast, he also demonstrates how to cook Indian, Mexican, and Italian family feasts.

Here, Tom, 49, tells TV Times why Sunday lunches hold a special place in his heart...

What makes Sunday lunches so great?

Sunday is the only day I get off work, so it’s family time for me, and the one chance I get to spend a lot of time cooking. It’s nice when you take the dogs out or feed the ducks in the park, come home and there’s a really welcoming, evocative smell when you step through the door.

I loved filming because every day felt like a Sunday morning!
