The Caan Family
Gregg Wallace and Chris Bavin help families across the UK eat well for less. In this edition, they help steer the Caan family away from their favourite takeaways.
Gregg and Chris are faced with one of their biggest challenges yet. Can they keep the Caan family from Glasgow, mum Tina, dad Ryan and kids Laila, six, and Ray, eight, away from their favourite takeaways and get them cooking from scratch?
Gregg and Chris meet dietician Hala El Shafie to see what's really in some of our most popular takeaways, while Chris investigates what supermarkets are doing to tackle food waste and helps the Caans try and overcome their wasteful ways.
Ryan is addicted to food shopping and loves his fridge to be full, but with a weekly visit to the supermarket, a trip to the butchers and top-up shops every other day, this family's food bills are spiralling out of control. When it comes to food, convenience is king in the Caan household with takeaways being a weekly staple, all adding to the cost.
Gregg and Chris work out they're spending three and half times more than the average family of four. Completely unaware at how much they're spending, the Caans are left in total shock by the news. They're determined to change their lifestyle and ensure the kids don't follow their bad example.
Throughout the week of swaps, Gregg and Chris challenge Ryan and Tina to make takeaway-inspired meals from scratch and to use up the food in the fridge, rather than throwing it away. As the experiment comes to an end, will Gregg and Chris have saved the Caans enough money to get the whole family to Australia for a family wedding?
Also this week the team visit Coventry, where a water polo team blind-taste tests different brands of houmous.
