The Brook Family
Gregg Wallace and Chris Bavin help families across the UK eat well for less. They have come to Nottingham hoping to help the Brook family, who are stuck in a rut.
Gregg and Chris have come to Nottingham hoping to help the Brook family, who are well and truly stuck in a rut. Tourism lecturer Janine is at her wits' end with media manager husband Paul and their two girls, Rosie and Sophia, all of whom prefer snacking on sugary treats to following a healthy diet. Having quit sugar two years ago, Janine's hoping that with a little help, her family can reduce their dependence on the sweet stuff.
As the girls are fussy eaters Janine relies heavily on 'quick teas', convenient favourites she knows her children will eat. Janine feeds them separately to her and Paul, but this means she's cooking twice a night and churning out the same old meals. When it comes to shopping she buys the same items every week, whether she already has them at home or not.
Tragically, Janine has secondary breast cancer and having exhausted all treatment options on the NHS is now faced with self-funding the drugs she may need in future, and so every penny this family can save really does count.
Can Gregg and Chris get the family eating better, spending more time together, eating as a family and save them much-needed cash?
