Tom believes that we should cook and eat good food no matter what day of the week it is, so he's got some incredible fuss-free dishes that are quick to make without compromising on flavour, like lemon pepper chicken - a whole meal in one pan that saves on the washing up.

He shows us how to spice up traditional lamb chops by giving the Barnsley chop a north African twist and serving it with a courgette and feta salad with an unusual dressing, before demonstrating his take on the old retro dinner - scampi and chips - made using fresh monkfish and a fantastic crispy batter.

And for pudding, there's an easy midweek option - a rice pudding that's quite unlike any you'll have tried before, and it only takes half an hour to make.

These dishes should definitely persuade you to leave those ready meals on the shelves. Show less
