Holly Finds Out Why McDonald's Chips Taste Different

It's curry vs the clock! Holly welcomes Michelin-trained chef, TikTok sensation and Potato Queen Poppy O'Toole to the Together kitchen for the ultimate takeaway challenge: can Poppy cook a chicken and chickpea korma, spiced potatoes and rice before the delivery driver rings the doorbell? As the clock ticks, Poppy shares the genius tricks from her new book, The Actually Delicious Batch Cookbook, including how to cook straight from frozen, the wooden spoon hack Holly can't believe nobody told her, and why you really can freeze and reheat rice. Plus how Poppy went from failing her A levels to a Michelin-starred kitchen, and what happened when she lost her job overnight in lockdown. But will she beat the driver to the door, and which curry will Holly prefer?
