Donal Shehan: Home Cook

Season 1

The kitchen is the heart of Donal Skehan’s home. It is where delicious recipes and happy memories are made against the backdrop of busy family life, from quick-fix meals and lazy weekend dinners to special celebration feasts when the whole family gathers.

Across seven episodes and a Christmas special finale, the series is packed with new, easy-to-follow recipes, time-saving hacks, and practical cooking tips, including the kitchen gadgets Donal relies on at home, with the air fryer often coming to the rescue.

Each week, Donal shares recipes to suit every busy household, from weekday winners like speedy Teriyaki Salmon and Cacio e Pepe Gnocchi to slow weekend meals worth savouring, such as Roasted Pork Shoulder with crispy crackling and Slow Cooker Butter Chicken. He also creates One-Pot Wonders like Moroccan Spiced Meatballs and show-stopping dishes for entertaining, including Confit Garlic Chicken with Hasselback Potatoes and a gold-dusted Meringue Swish with hazelnuts and chocolate.

Whether viewers are confident cooks or complete beginners, Donal shows how to make the most of everyday moments in the kitchen, embrace the chaos, and create something truly delicious in the process.
