Ainsley Harriott recreates some of his mother's recipes, including brown chicken stew and rice n' peas. Country music duo the Shires take over the kitchen for a jam session and a late-night pasta feast, while Juliet Sear shares her mother's secret quiche recipe and Ainsley knocks up some homemade garlic bread and coconut and lime fairy cakes.

Ainsley is in his kitchen and inspired by the great dishes of the school canteen. He starts his school dinner menu with a sumptuous shepherd's pie with minted peas. Pussycat Doll Kimberly Wyatt joins Ainsley and introduces him to her American school canteen favourite, a cheese and bean tortilla.

Baking Queen Juliet Sear puts a spin on a classic school-time dessert with her cornflake tart, and Ainsley revs up that comforting school dinner classic - mac and cheese with bacon and Leeks. And for afters? You'll be wanting seconds of his jam and coconut sponge with custard.
