On Twitter, some labelled it the "dumbest" cooking show ever, pointing out questionable tips like using frozen vegetables such as onions and mushrooms, which Joe added to Claire Powell’s shopping cart while shopping for groceries.
In the first episode, Joe and Suzanne travelled to Hull, East Yorkshire, to help the Powell family organise their kitchen, reduce meal stress, and plan meals ahead.
Channel 4’s new cooking show Batch From Scratch has been met with criticism from viewers who are unhappy with its focus on meal prepping and what many saw as unappealing recipes and kitchen shortcuts.
The show, which premiered last night, is hosted by Joe Swash and Suzanne Mulholland, a chef and author known for her quick and cost-effective meal prep ideas.
Another unpopular moment came when Suzanne suggested preparing and freezing 20 sandwiches ahead of time, claiming they could last up to three months.
