TV chef Theo Michaels to help South Ribble families with meal plans
The aim is to help locals eat well on tight budgets.
South Ribble residents are being given free access to meal plans and recipes devised by a renowned TV chef.
Theo Michaels - who regularly appears on BBC1’s Morning Live and has been both a judge and contestant on Masterchef - runs the Five Dinners website.
The service usually costs £86 per year to access, but South Ribble Borough Council has subsidised the cost for residents in an effort to help them with spiralling day-to-day food bills and ensure they can still eat healthily.

Coun Kath Unsworth, Cabinet Member for Environment and Streetscene said: “I’m delighted that we can pay for all residents to have access to Five Dinners. We’re committed to doing all we can to support residents through the cost-of-living crisis and this scheme is a brilliant way to cut back on your food bills while having tasty and nutritious meals.
“I know many households are feeling the strain of the rising prices in supermarkets and by signing up for Five Dinners, you’ll get custom tailored meal plans designed at cutting down the price of your food bill, whilst reducing your household waste.”
Residents who sign up will be joining an ever-growing membership and will gain immediate access to a wide variety of meal plans designed for everyone, from high-protein to family-centred recipes.
Five Dinners says it aims to cater for every cooking ability - from beginners to pros.
