Ultimate Budget Comfort Food (Jamie's Feasts for a Fiver)

A full episode of Jamie Oliver's 2026 Channel 4 series, where every recipe is designed to cost under £5 for the whole dish, feeding anywhere from two people to six or more. This one is the cold-weather episode: a steaming winter chili, crispy potato and chickpea parcels, a spiced cauliflower bake with an edible lid, celeriac skewers and a soup. At about 47 minutes it is more of an evening's viewing than a quick how-to, but the payoff is a handful of mostly vegetable-led dinners that feel generous rather than thrifty. Pick one dish, shop for it and come back for the next one another week.
