Make Jamie Oliver's Classics on a Budget: Chicken Pot Pie & More! | Feasts for Less

Welcome to "Jamie Oliver’s Feasts for Less," the show where I pull out the ultimate smart kitchen hacks to deliver maximum flavor for minimum spend. Together, we're going to shake up the way we shop and cook by leaning into clever, grandparent-approved money-saving tips that turn everyday ingredients into total luxury. Whether you're feeding two, four, or eight people, I've got a lineup of absolute epic dishes to prove budget cooking can feel like an absolute celebration. For our first feast, we're knocking out a deeply comforting Chicken Hot Pot with tender braised cabbage, featuring a smart butchery hack to render our own flavorful cooking fat from cheap, skin-on chicken thighs. Then, we are completely reinventing weekend brunch with savory French Toast Crumpets and crispy bacon, paired with a genius, velvety "cheater's guacamole" made entirely from humble frozen peas. In this episode: • The Thigh-Meat Win: Jamie breaks down why buying skin-on, bone-in chicken thighs saves you a fortune on butchery costs while packing twice the flavor. • Frozen Mushroom Gravy: Why budget-friendly frozen mushrooms are actually superior for building an unctuous, deeply savory hot pot gravy. • The Avocado Alternative: Turning humble frozen peas, fresh mint, and lemon juice into a vibrant, rich, budget-friendly brunch smash. • The 15-Minute Fluffy Rice Crust: A precise water-to-grain ratio to guarantee fluffy rice with a golden, show-stopping crispy base. • Gennaro’s Pasta Secret: How turning humble potatoes, onions, and pecorino into a warm filling creates a smooth, sticky dough binding. _______________________________________________________ Subscribe to Tastemade: https://bit.ly/3PSFkYm JOIN us at Tastemade+: https://www.tastemade.com/plus LIKE us on Facebook: https://bit.ly/3Bs9oG6 FOLLOW us on Instagram: https://bit.ly/3vzyq2b FIND us on Snapchat Discover: https://bit.ly/3SgEbLQ
