Looking for some cooking inspiration? Want to learn a new recipe or two while staying at home? Well, now you can – with Jamie Oliver. The British chef is back with the new series Jamie: Keep Cooking and Carry On, which will premiere in the UAE on Fox Life and Star World on Friday, May 15 at 5pm.

In the new show, the Jamie's 15-Minute Meals author will teach viewers how to make the most of what's in their kitchen and how to get creative with whatever ingredients they can find in their homes. He'll also show us how to make the most out of our frozen food items, as well as cupboard staples.

For those feeling a bit more ambitious, Oliver, 44, will also share tips on how to make bread (a trend that's picked up quite a bit during the pandemic) and pasta from scratch.

“Cooking nutritious meals for yourself and your loved ones has never been more important," he said in a statement. "This show will be packed with easy and delicious recipes that the whole family can enjoy, plus loads of tips, tricks and hacks for simple swaps and ways you can make the recipes work with what you’ve got.

“Let’s big up those store cupboard and freezer faves and hero recipes you can take lots of ways.”

Two episodes will air back-to-back on Fridays and Saturdays.
