Tesco has produced a new eight-part content series, Tesco Kitchen, to help “inspire customers with mouth-watering new recipes”.
In each episode hosts Seema Pankhania and Greg James will welcome chefs, food writers and well-known food and drink experts.
The guest will choose a dish that is meaningful to them to cook alongside the hosts with Pankhania, of @seemagetsbaked, making a complimentary dish. The first episode, which launched on YouTube this week, featured Channel Four presenter Fred Sirieix who makes Beef Bourguignon.

“I’m so excited to be involved in the Tesco Kitchen,” said Pankhania.
“I grew up going to big Tesco, my mum has worked in Tesco my entire life and our whole community was based around attending events and meeting friends there, so it’s a real 360 moment to be involved in this project.”
She added: “I have always been so obsessed with food because of mum, she would always cook the most incredible Indian food, but she wouldn’t cook anything else, so if I wanted to learn about food from other countries, I’d have to teach myself.
“Which is why I am so excited about this series, because I am learning so many things about different people, the food they love and have grown up eating. I’m excited for the viewers to learn all their tips and tricks too.”
James said: “I love messing around in the kitchen and cooking for people at home so to be asked to host this show with someone as exciting and talented as Seema is a real treat.
“The guests all bring something different to each show – literally – and it means I get to meet loads of brilliant new people, learn how to be a better cook and crucially get to eat everything we make. What’s not to like.”
The recipes from each episode will be available on Tesco Real Food so they can be recreated at home. For more inspiration, recipes and expert advice, people can also follow the new Tesco social handle @TescoKitchen on Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, Pinterest and YouTube.
