The Rielly Family

Episode 1 of 8

Gregg Wallace and Chris Bavin help families across the UK eat well for less. In this edition they help the Rielly family, who all have different eating habits.

Gregg and Chris have a challenge on their hands with the Rielly family from Middlesex, whose plentiful problems lead them to explore carbohydrates - should we be trying to cut them out of our diet or not?

Chris investigates the baffling difference in price between cheap table salt and high-end sea salt to find out if it's ever worth paying more.

The Riellys are a busy family with very different eating habits. Dad Adam lives on takeaways, whilst mum Stacy cooks three different dinners every night because she and the kids don't like the same foods! Twelve-year-old Izzy is so fussy she survives on tomato soup and pasta, whilst eight-year-old Harry has type 1 diabetes, so Mum has to count the carbohydrates in everything he eats - not easy when Harry snacks up to eight times a day and is always hungry. Add to that big-brand convenience food and numerous top-up shops a week, and you have a food bill that's out of control.

Can Gregg and Chris find meals the whole family will eat together and save them money?
