RTÉ is looking for special recipes for a new TV show

Got a family recipe you think the nation should know about? Then this RTÉ show is perfect for you.

Tastes Like Home is calling on people to apply for the upcoming series. The series, which is in its second year, is fronted by TV chef and author Catherine Fulvio and will see participants bringing their special recipes to the table. Families with a flare for a feast, a savoury supper or a recipe steeped in tradition are encouraged to apply. The show, which is sponsored by Londis, is a cooking and travel show which follows six families living in Ireland, as they share their family favourite recipe, and bring a taste of home to a loved one living abroad. Successful applicants will host Catherine in their home and teach her how to create their dish. Catherine then visits their loved one abroad helping to re-create that dish for them. Speaking about the new series Catherine has said:

"This year, I’m hoping to meet more families who relish that one unmistakable dish that tastes like home. I expect a modern influence but with a focus on Irish ingredients which are not always easy to source abroad, I love a challenge! And I enjoyed the broad range of backgrounds of the participants in series one and look forward to more of the same."

To apply, simply submit an application form along with three family favourite recipes for consideration. You can apply online at www.londis.ie or www.tasteslikehome.ie or visit your local Londis store to pick up an application form. Applications for the show close on Thursday, March 16th, 2017.
