To adhere to social distancing rules, series four will be filmed later this month at the Television Centre Studios in London with a minimal crew and will air on ITV on Saturday mornings.

With restaurants closed and the lockdown still in place, people are cooking more than ever, and John and Lisa are here to help viewers with accessible, interesting and easy-to-make meal ideas for families.

Each episode has a different food theme and John and Lisa will use kitchen cupboard basics, which many people will already have, and offer at home hacks.
