Six in 10 adults cook meals on a loop – with spaghetti Bolognese, roast dinner and a curry topping the list.
A poll of 2,000 adults found 53 per cent are ‘stuck in a rut’ when it comes to cooking at mealtimes – with pizza, sausage and mash, and chilli con carne also go-to dishes.
Seven in 10 admitted they’d like to mix up their menu and add a twist to these repeated favourites.
While 48 per cent revealed they’re ‘bored’ of having the same dinners day after day, with 61 per cent keen to try new dishes.
The research was commissioned by Dolmio, which has teamed-up with actor, Tom Read Wilson, to launch a series of ‘Bolognese hacks.’
He said: “With more people cooking at home than ever, now is the perfect time to get creative in the kitchen.
“I get excited about unexpected twists to home comforts – the crazier the better!
“Bolognese in a bao bun or baguette might initially sound curious, but the fusion is delicious.
“I’m looking forward to inspiring the nation with these dishes.”
