John and Lisa can't get enough of this dish, and Tom shares his secrets for making the perfect pie crust.

After the breakfast dishes, the focus shifts to lunch with a mouth-watering recipe for chicken shawarma. John and Lisa make their own shawarma spice blend and marinate the chicken for maximum flavor. They serve the chicken with some homemade tzatziki and pita bread, and it's a delicious and easy-to-make lunch option.

For dessert, John and Lisa make a decadent chocolate mousse cake with raspberry coulis. They use dark chocolate to make a rich and smooth mousse, and the raspberry coulis adds a tangy and fruity flavor. Tom Brown also stops by to share his recipe for a classic apple crumble, which is perfect for any cozy night in.
