Ainsley Harriott is joined by Alison Hammond and Aldo Zilli in the first episode of a new cookery series, which focuses on dishes that conjure up memories of holidays. Ainsley prepares spicy Seafood linguine with chilli and cherry tomatoes, Alison makes a Tunisian inspired lamb and cous cous dish, and Aldo gives a masterclass in making crispy chilli and parsley calamari. Finally, Ainsley also whips up a souvlaki and tiramisu.

Join Ainsley in the kitchen as he is inspired by the great retro dishes of the past. He starts his Forgotten Classics menu with a sumptuous minced beef, potato and onion pie served with buttery greens. Then, TV presenter and radio DJ Vick Hope joins Ainsley to introduce him to a spicy prawn cocktail… and a rumba round the kitchen.

Long-time friend Brian Turner will be reminding us why faggots deserve a come-back, and Ainsley puts a fresh spin on the coronation chicken, followed by a very tempting queen of puddings.
