Dora is the heaviest she has ever been. Losing her sister to cancer and then her mother a short time later had a huge impact on her. Dora believes she turned to food to help her cope with the grief. She says her appetite for sweet, sugary treats is now out of control and she is eating more than ever. She is surrounded by temptation, as her house is filled with treat-making gadgets, making it impossible for her to stop eating calorie-laden snacks.

Stephen finds Dora in her outdoor ‘pool’, sipping slushies, eating hotdogs and toasting marshmallows. After a frantic Zumba workout at the local community centre, Stephen sits down with Dora and together they share stories as to how they have lost their way with food. Stephen then invites her to join him in the kitchen with one of Northern Ireland’s top chefs.

Michelin star holder Alex Greene is one of the rising stars in Northern Ireland food circles. He is passionate about cooking healthy food from scratch and is keen to meet the challenge of making food that it is low in calories but high in flavour. The only problem for this talented chef is that both Dora and Stephen are totally clueless in the kitchen. Can Alex convince them they can make good food themselves? And more importantly, will the pair like the dishes enough to give them a try at home? All is revealed as Stephen’s unexpected reaction to Alex’s food takes everyone by surprise.
