This is what I need now that *I AM ON A PENSION* Cheap and tasty meals Oh How I love this Helpful Channel... big like...

GREAT to have you back Frankie!!
Please, never forget this. You promised you would do "Struggle Meals" at least until I die! I think this promise was made last season in a reply to a comment I posted. And, I'm holding you and your crew responsible for getting this done. I'm 63. And not well. Soooo could possibly not be as long as it sounds! (fyi~I'm not dying ☺)
I'm ready for some healthy and easy ideas! After 50 years cooking the same old, same old (but with a few really good years thrown in), it makes cooking ~let's say~a bit less exciting. Your recipes are timely, nutritious, easy and delicious!
Thanks for these. I've tried almost every recipe. And they're all good~and most are ~(kisses fingers)~bellissimo!!
Thank you
Jenn 💖 in Canada 🍁 ☺

Welcome back Frankie!!! I've missed the humour and the recipes, thank you and everyone else behind the scenes for this series.


One thing I was a little disappointed about, however, was that this video has only one recipe which didn't use up the entire eggplant - I supposed one could use the rest of the eggplant to make more eggplant parmesan and eat it for the rest of the week or share it with others. I think this was also the case for some of the themed videos and their main ingredients. But I quite liked the earlier videos that taught me three different dishes using that one butternut squash so that I didn't leave anything to waste.


But maybe that's just me. Anyways, thank you for these interesting videos, can't wait to see more!

The best cooking show - Frankie’s teaching everyone a thing or two, old to young! Wish we had this show 30 years ago!

*Frankie making sounds as he bites into the sandwich* "This is the call of my people!"

I add some oil to the breadcrumbs before breading and bake them in the oven it's more crunchy and healthier because less oil over all :D

Honestly...best cooking tips ever, come from this series. I’m actually learning to cook lol

Not many people love eggplant but i love its mushy texture and taste as well♥️

Well it's about freaking time, Frankie. There's only so many times I can rewatch the old episodes. You've been missed 😁

I love Frankie's British accent attempts, so funny. There's so many British accents and variations but the received pronounciation style is the one everyone does!

I'd love him to do a British food episode with his struggle meal angle, on classics like fish and chips and mushy peas, a roast, maybe do a veggie one, Scotch eggs, etc.

Having said that I'm British and mainly eat Italian and vegetarian!

By the way Frankie Aubergine, Aubergine,

You can tell you really like that fried aubergine, it evokes childhood and happy comforting times. I like your approach to cooking, it's fun and unstuffy and you enjoy your food.
