What do you do when you’re hosting a cooking and travel show but you can’t travel?
You open the photo album, reminisce, create and cook recipes inspired by some of the places previously visited!
Tastes Like Home will return to our screens Monday’s on RTE ONE at 830pm for eight delicious weeks so we can travel from our couch and be inspired in the kitchen.
Over the fifth series Catherine Fulvio, revisits Cape Town and Johannesburg in South Africa, Vancouver and Tiny Township in Canada, San Sebastián and Barcelona in Spain, as well as Dubai and Portland, Oregon to capture eight individual stories, from contestants who refuse to let the physical distance from home curb their appetite for home-cooked meal that “Tastes Like Home”.
She explained it all to Colm & Lucy
