This is a cookery game show hosted by Anthony Worrall Thompson, whereby two of the UK's top chefs battle it out across a week in a series of daily challenges to win the heart, mind and taste buds of a different celebrity guest judge each day
A regular presenter on Daily Cooks, in this series watched by 3.5 million views, Jean-Christophe did battle with Aldo Zilli to win over celebrities including Cerys Matthews, Jenni Falconer, Barry Mc Guigan, Eamonn Holmes & Ruth Langsford and Sally Whittaker during a five day cook off.
Each day included three different challenges:
-
Five Minute Challenge: based solely on two food-related clues about the day's celebrity, both chefs must create a dish that they think will most impress the guest and that can be made from start to finish in five minutes or less.
- Beat The Budget: The Challenge is to see which chef can impress most when cooking to a tight budget. Using whatever info they've gleaned so far about the celebrity guest, the chefs have to create a culinary treat that won't break the bank.
- Star Food Challenge: The final cookery battle and worth double points. It's nearly the end of the show and the chefs have a good idea what our celebrity loves. Their challenge is to cook a grand finale meal with an ingredient that the celebrity has brought in.
Final score JCN 3 : Aldo 1!
