Six in ten adults cook meals on a loop \u2013 with spaghetti Bolognese, roast dinner, and a curry topping the list. A poll of 2,000 adults found 53 percent are \u201cstuck in a rut\u201d when it comes to cooking at mealtimes \u2013 with pizza, sausage and mash, and chilli con carne also among the go-to dishes.<\/p>\n
Seven in ten admitted they\u2019d like to mix up their menu and add a twist to these repeated favourites.<\/p>\n
And 48 percent revealed they\u2019re \u201cbored\u201d of having the same dinners day after day, with 61 percent keen to try new dishes.<\/p>\n
The research was commissioned by Dolmio, which has teamed-up with actor, Tom Read Wilson, to launch a series of \u201cBolognese hacks\u201d.<\/p>\n
The Celebs Go Dating star said: \u201cWith more people cooking at home than ever, now is the perfect time to get creative in the kitchen.<\/p>\n
\u201cI get excited about unexpected twists to home comforts \u2013 the crazier the better!<\/p>\n
\u201cBolognese in a bao bun or baguette might initially sound curious, but the fusion is delicious. I\u2019m looking forward to inspiring the nation with these dishes.\u201d<\/p>\n
The study also found 29 percent of those stuck in a dinnertime rut have been in one for a year, with 46 percent believing it’s \u201cdifficult\u201d to switch up mealtime habits.<\/p>\n

Barriers to introducing more variety to home dinners include lack of inspiration (41 percent), time (34 percent), and skills (21 percent).<\/p>\n
It also emerged 83 percent of adults now struggle to afford to dine out due to the cost-of-living crisis \u2013 and this might partly explain why 35 percent now cook all their dinners at home.<\/p>\n
The study, carried out through OnePoll, found 23 percent cook seven different evening meals a week.<\/p>\n
Almost half (49 percent) describe their dinners as \u201ctasty\u201d, while 39 percent use \u201cconvenient\u201d to describe them.<\/p>\n
Sian Gavin, of Mars Food, which produces Dolmio products, said: \u201cWith our research showing that there is a taste explorer in all of us, we want to inspire people with fresh takes on our classic Bolognese.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe want to galvanise people to say yes to whatever happens to be their favourite twist on an at-home dinner.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt might start with a different way to serve Bolognese, or a spice to season \u2013 and before you know it, you have changed your meal-time menu for good.\u201d<\/p>\n
Tom Read Wilson will reveal the Bolognese hacks in Shoreditch, London, on July 6, and St. Ann\u2019s Square, Manchester, on July 7 \u2013 from 12pm on both dates.<\/p>\n
