Family Food

To start with, Tom shows how to turn a humble family staple, the omelette, into an awesome meal. Made with smoked haddock, parmesan cheese and topped with a luscious creamy glaze, this dish makes a proper tasty family lunch.

Keeping food fun is what keeps the kids interested so Tom puts a farmyard twist on classic roast chicken, baking it in hay. This is a nod to his West Country roots and served up with a whole roast celeriac it makes a great rustic alternative to the usual Sunday roast. For a teatime treat, Tom's proper baked beans are packed full of flavour and are served up with his own soda bread toast - a really simple recipe that's a great family staple.

Finally, for dessert Tom makes his version of a classic family pub pud - an apple and toffee crumble pie, with some great tips on how to get that crumble really crispy and those apples full of flavour and crunch.

Feeding a family can be a challenge, so taking classic family favourites but doing them even better - 'properly', as Tom would say - is a sure-fire way to keep everyone round the table well fed and very, very happy.
