Gregg Wallace and Chris Bavin help families to eat well for less. In Hertfordshire, three-year-old twins are leaving two busy mums too exhausted to cook in the evenings.

This week Gregg and Chris are in Hertfordshire to help two very busy mums, part-time physiotherapist Poppy and schoolteacher Emma. They have three-year-old twins, Piper and Beckett, and like many parents their evenings are ruled by the toddlers. Emma and Poppy are exhausted by the time the twins are in bed and regularly eat whatever they can throw together quickly. Cooking has fallen by the wayside in favour of nachos or platters of cold meat and salad, which means the food they buy for the week often goes out of date and is instead given to Poppy's self-sufficient mum to feed to her chickens. Can the boys get Poppy and Emma cooking one meal a night that they can all eat together and that's nutritious as well as cheap?
