Episode 3
Shauna Froydenlund not only ignores Stephen and Caroline鈥檚 banter in the kitchen but also their likes and dislikes, cooking up a healthy meal that may be food hell for Caroline.
Stephen meets 50-year-old Caroline from Newry. Caroline has been struggling with weight gain since she started the menopause. With her work in a care home and looking after three boisterous grandsons, she often turns to crisps and snacks to keep her energy levels up. She tells Stephen that she is a terrible cook and would love to be more confident in the kitchen.
While she loves to walk in the beautiful hills in and around Newry and Carlingford Lough with her pals, her recent weight gain is affecting Caroline鈥檚 joints and she鈥檚 worried that if she doesn鈥檛 change her ways, she may lose the ability to do this and remain active and sociable. For the first time, this bubbly, sociable woman feels the wind has been taken out of her sails. As her weight has increased, her self-esteem has sadly plummeted. Can a visit to the kitchen with Stephen help restore it?
There is no better chef to try to help Caroline than the highly respected Shauna Froydenlund, who has returned to her native Derry armed with the skills honed from being head chef in a Marcus Wareing London restaurant. She has so many ideas and tastes for Caroline and Stephen to try. But when Shauna鈥檚 dish turns out to be Caroline鈥檚 food hell, there鈥檚 the potential for things in the kitchen to go terribly wrong...
