As food prices rise and eating healthier gets harder for Kiwi households, one celebrity chef has taken matters into his own hands. Ganesh Raj, host of Eat Well for Less has launched the Humble Yum Yum Project - a food education course designed to educate people about good nutrition. Raj says he aims to teach people how to cook a wide range of affordable dishes to get ahead of the cost of living. "If you were able to cook five, ten, fifteen dishes, you knew how to swap some things out - then suddenly the supermarkets or anyone else you buy from doesn't have the power over you."

This episode is brought to you by Rupa Health, Joovv, and Super Simple Grassfed Protein.The food industry wants us to believe that cooking is difficult, time-consuming, inconvenient, and expensive. And knowing we all have busy lives, fast food manufacturers and grocers lure us into convenient, heavily processed meals that take a toll on our waistline, our overall health, and, believe it or not, our budget. Today, over 50 percent of meals are consumed outside the home. We've raised several generations of Americans who don't know how to cook. And it's killing us.In today's episode of my series I'm calling Health Bites, I discuss how to reconnect with your kitchen and just how inexpensive eating healthy and preparing your own food can be.

The Naked Grocer is now an online business supplying catering, fruit for offices as well as veg boxes for the public. www.thenakedgrocer.comChris Bavin's first job was as a junior flower trader, a job he relished and excelled at. He spent much of his working day in various wholesale markets across the UK, places where Chris felt very much at home. Packed full of all the colourful characters and the buzz that a busy wholesale market provides, Chris felt he had found his vocation.After selling flowers into the wholesale markets and retail multiples for six years he took a side step to trade fruit and vegetables. This again was something that he not only enjoyed but did very successfully. He has worked in all areas of fresh produce: importing, wholesaling, retailing, food service & catering.Chris is passionate about educating and raising awareness in children of where food comes from and encouraging them to learn how to increase their consumption of fruit and veg. One of his ambitions is to teach others how eating healthily can be cheap and easy to achieve. Chris is currently working on writing his first book. Chris is also passionate and has a great interest in farming, all areas of fresh produce in particular the history and future of food, reducing food waste, wholesale markets and of course flowers and plants.Chris lives in Surrey with his lovely wife Millie and their children.
Today I am joined by Television Presenter Chris Bavin.You might know him from presenting on a host of BBC food shows, but Chris actually spent the majority of his twenties working in wholesale food exports. Turning 20 on the turn of the century, Chris was headhunted to work for a large company selling flowers before moving on to fresh produce. His decade was spent prioritising his career above most other things, and 2 years after meeting his wife Millie, the two of them opened their own high street store called 'The Naked Grocer', when Chris was 29. They ran the business for seven years and in that time the store won the title of 'National Independent Retailer of the Year' twice thanks to its loyal customers, their passion for fresh ingredients and being ahead of its time with no plastic packaging. Chris's career then took an unfor-seen turn in his thirties when in 2013 he was cast to co-present Eat Well For Less on BBC One, which lead him on to present other shows including Food: Truth or Scare and judging on Britain's Best Home Cook with co-star national treasure Mary Berry. Chris is a food fanatic, a proper people person and can banter his way out of trouble in any given situation. His twenties are evidence that working towards something you're deeply passionate about, can often lead you somewhere better than you could have predicted.Our favourite (and perhaps most contested) Millennial Minesweeper Quote this week was: 'The problem isn't the problem. The problem is the way you think about the problem' - Stephen Bartlett

So sorry the pod is late, we've had an eventful few days! This week, we have a difference of opinion over episodes 3 & 4 of Lovecraft Country (4:45), Mark's happy to see the return of Amazon Prime's The Boys (10:40), and Elaine declares her love for Gregg Wallace's buttery biscuit base in her review of BBC1's Eat Well For Less? (16:10). And Mark's been back to the cinema to see The New Mutants (23:37). With an infamously troubled production, and rumours of re-shoots, cuts, and major edits, what did Mark think of this latest (and last?) film in The X Men universe?

Agony AuntWe move to Alert Level 1 tonightJess Atherton on Eat Well For Less
TVNZ programmers have the show for the times with Eat Well for Less. Viewers are in for some jaw-dropping reality when household shopping goes under the microscope.The show, based on a UK series, is hosted by chefs Mike van de Elzen (TVNZ's The Food Truck, and Kiwi Living) and restaurateur Ganesh Raj (owner of The Tasting Shed, co-owner of The Māori Kitchen.) Viewers will be happy to meet Raj and his infectious sense of humour, with van de Elzen already a favourite of TV audiences.In each episode, the pair will meet a Kiwi family, and share their knowledge on how to save money, sort food facts from food fiction and eat well for less. By the end of each episode, the team hopes to have changed a family's life, as well as the size of their shopping bill.Raj has been behind the camera as a marketing creative and a director since he and his producer wife, Jo, moved from Singapore to Auckland in 2002."It's been almost 20 years since I was a presenter on ESPN Asia and MTV Asia, and it was great to be back in front of the camera again and not have to think about camera angles and how segments will edit together," Raj tells Spy.In 2011 the pair opened The Tasting Shed, in Kumeu. The restaurant has consistently been in the Top 50 Auckland Restaurants' list and he has twice been named Restaurant Personality of the Year.The pair were amped to do the show as a useful aid to families, with neither realising how important their show would be in these times."My passion has always been to encourage Kiwis to eat healthier and share recipes and tips that are good for you, but don't compromise on taste," says van de Elzen. "It was an absolute honour to be invited into people's homes during Eat Well For Less, and if we can help just one Kiwi family watching the show, it will be a success in my eyes." he says."Right now we all need to shop within our means and serve what keeps the family happy. Comfort food is key during these stressful times but that doesn't mean you can't make a few tweaks to have some variety," says Raj, who is soon to start a YouTube channel about global food that doesn't cost the world."Make sure each meal has leftovers so you can repurpose it the next day. Budgets are going to get tight over the next six-18 months. Save money by learning how to cook some simple, delicious meals," he says.Van de Elzen says Uber Eats was just too easy and expensive for families and the show will more than demonstrate wasted spending. "Takeaways can still be a treat for families, just not an everyday thing. This lockdown has made us put back on our pinnies and cook for ourselves. Yes, it doesn't always work out and taste as good as your favourite Thai delivery but you are cooking from scratch and best of all your kids are learning the very valuable lessons of food," he says.Both hospo pros know Level 3 will be tough on their own restaurants."I am trying to approach the next wee while with two values in mind. Compassion and courage. Every day I tell myself that I have to have the compassion to look after my family and staff," says Raj.For van de Elzen, he says its back to basics."Each chef and business will have dishes or cuisines that they're loved for, and people will have been craving during the Lockdown. Focusing on good food, good customer service and a good atmosphere will get us through," he says.LISTEN TO GANESH RAJ TALK WITH ANDREW DICKENS ABOVE
"I was just grateful that we didn't have a dead old man under a washing machine." Gregg Wallace gets an extension this week as we discuss the rules of etiquette for offering a worker on your property a drink (if you're the host of BBC's Eat Well For Less and Inside the Factory). If a houseguest comes to stay, should they bring a gift? And what should it be: some Frubes; a cheap Zinfandel? What motivational songs do out-of-touch Mumsnetters send to another out-of-touch Mumsnetter to pump up a Gen-Z-er? And should we let children go to pirate-themed parties so they can learn to torrent and dress up as Napster?
