Activities for Foodie Friday

Why not recreate a soap-inspired meal or drink? Whether you are a Corrie fan or part of the Home and Away fandom, you can get cooking to celebrate the soaps. Here are some foodie favourite ideas for your favourite soaps:

Betty’s Hotpot

You can find the official recipe for this iconic classic on ITV’s website which was taken from ‘Life and Times at the Rovers Return' book by Daran Little.

Roy’s Full English

Why not create a full English that even Roy would be proud to serve at Roy’s Rolls? Or even one of his iconic milkshakes that every Corrie kid loves.

Mike’s Bubble and Squeak

You can get a recipe or two out of Coronation Street Cookbook: Over 100 Favourite Recipes from the Stars of the Street which includes Mike’s Bubble and Squeak.

Jean’s sausage surprise

Why not create the iconic Jean’s Sausage Surprise to celebrate all things EastEnders? You can find the iconic recipe for Jean’s dish on the BBC.

Beale’s Pie and Mash

Why not create the classic pie and mash from Beale's Eels? You can watch Adam Woodyatt aka Ian create his own posh pie and mash on Saturday Kitchen alongside other EastEnders favourites to celebrate their 40th anniversary and give your own version a go.

The New Emmerdale Cookbook

This Emmerdale themed cookbook has 80 Dales inspired recipes including Mandy's Spice-Girl Stir-Fry.

Alan Turner’s Emmerdale Cookbook

This Emmerdale cookbook has over 190 recipes from the beautiful Yorkshire countryside!

Hollyoaks Come Dine with Me

Why not get inspired by creating a recipe from the Come Dine with Me 25th Anniversary of Hollyoaks special that you can find on Channel 4.

Harold’s Fruit Pavola

Why not create a recipe straight from Neighbours’ Harold’s with a Fruit Pavola? Give the delicious dessert a go and imagine you’re right on Ramsay Street.

Smoothie from JP’s Juice Bar

Create your very own juice that you would find down at JP’s Juice Bar in Home and Away. What flavour would you go for…?

Create your own soap-inspired dish

Why not invent a dish for your favourite character and name it after them? You don’t have to make one of those classic dishes from your favouite soaps. You could make your own dish that you think your favourite character would love and name it after them. We’d love to see your creative, scrumptious food creations.

Remember to share your soap-inspired dishes with #FoodieFriday and #SoapWeek. Share photos, recipes or even a cooking video of your creations...
