Mark Moriarty is all about making weeknight cooking easy, exciting, and full of flavour
With this new show, Mark Moriarty shares his trade secrets and get people cooking smarter at home "We're trying to treat the home kitchen like I would the restaurant kitchen," he says.
And it's not just about good grub. Moriarty says he will be showing people how to make cost-effective decisions and time-saving tricks.
"Here's how you turn seven ingredients into three wildly different dishes, making sure we don't waste a cent of anything, which is what would have been drilled into me over years and years of working in kitchens."
And there'll be no unusual or hard-to-get ingredients - this show is also getting back to basics, utlising the likes of potatoes, butter, cream, and the standard spice rack contents that you'd find in most homes.
And Mark's done his homework here, using supermarket statistics to determine Ireeland's most popular ingredients and placing them in his recipes.
"It's chicken breasts, dry pasta, potatoes, carrots," he says. "It means, no matter what I cook, I know that people actually have these ingredients in their fridge, so it's going to be relevant to everyone watching."
