Episodes

Seaside Delights
In this first episode, Ainsley is inspired by the tastes and delights of the seaside – he starts with a taste of Italy making his Crab and Lemon Linguine with Pangrattato. He heads off on a seaside adventure with expert forager Alysia Vasey to find out what edible treats are growing on our shorelines, then uses some seaside herbs they forage in his Zesty Seafood Kebabs with Shaved Courgette and Fennel Salad in his shoreside kitchen.
Meanwhile, Ainsley's friend and chef Joseph Denison Casey heads to the Jurassic Coast to meet Jethro at the Dorset Sea Salt Company to find out how he captures the magic of the sea in his salt – back in his kitchen, Ainsley gives a dish from his childhood a salty update with his Chocolate Sponge Traybake with Salted Caramel Sauce.
Ainsley finishes the show with a seaside classic, Beer-Battered Fish served with Triple Cooked Chips and Mushy Minty Peas.

Fruits and Berries
Ainsley is feeling fruity! In this episode, all his dishes use fruit – he begins with a dish from his travels, Rose Harissa Chicken Tagine with Apricots and Chickpeas.
On the road, he pays a visit to Willy Chase to find out about his Apple Cider Vinegar and the magic of his orchards – on the beach, Ainsley fires up the BBQ to make Chargrilled Chicken and Pineapple Chow Skewers with Coconut Slaw, using a dash of Willy's vinegar to add a delicious tang.
Joseph pays a visit to Jade at Bitesize Bakehouse, whose handmade marshmallows are packed full of fruit for a masterclass in how to make the pillowy treats – inspired by Jade's use of fruit, Ainsley adds his twist to a classic and whips up A Wonderful Wandsworth Mess.
His last dish, Allspice Honey Duck with Chicory, Orange and Pomegranate Salad, is sure to impress yet simple to make.
