SEARED SUYA SCALLOPS Ingredients: 6 large king scallops, roe on or off, patted very dry 1.5 tbsp suya spice blend 2 tbsp avocado oil 20g unsalted butter 60g roasted unsalted peanuts, toasted and crushed 1 lime, zested and juiced 5g fresh chives, finely sliced 1 pinch sea salt flakes and cracked black pepper

SUNSHINE WHIP Ingredients 200g grilled ripe plantain, peeled weight 130g ripe avocado flesh (approx. 1 small avocado) 40ml unsweetened soy milk, plus extra to loosen 1 garlic clove, roasted or finely grated 7g fresh flat leaf parsley leaves 0.3 tsp sriracha powder 0.3 tsp smoked paprika 3g fine sea salt, adjust to taste

We asked King for his recommendation on the best cast iron pan for cooking scallops and so much more, and he told us his go-to is this; the nuovva pre-seasoned cast-iron skillet set, which comes with a 10-inch (25cm) and 12-inch (30cm) pan. He used the larger 12-inch/30cm skillet in this episode. It’s oven-safe and suitable for both indoor cooking and grilling. We tasted those scallops and we agree with Holly - like they’d been on the BBQ, chargrilled to perfection on our little induction hob! An investment you won’t regret!

It's Halloween, so Holly is doing the one thing she hates most: listening to a scary story. Clair Buckley, host of the Pretty Scary podcast, sits by the fire and tells her a TRUE story about a widow who heard noises in her house for nine months after her husband was murdered. Everyone thought it was a ghost. It wasn't. Then Holly admits why she once couldn't go upstairs in her own home, Clair drops a bombshell about who she sees in hers, and the two of them go blindfolded for a game of Don't Pull Out… Her heart rate monitor says it all.

In the most hilarious episode of Together to date, Holly and Michael take on denim… and lose!
