Synopsis
A 5pm teatime slot competition for amateur cooks, in which they're challenged to cook their one best dish. Unlike certain other programmes, only one dish is to be cooked.
The final was decided by a premium-rate telephone vote, which we still say defeats the whole object. It's for eating, not looking at!
Somewhat bizarre in the choice of a cricket presenter as host, but at least it means that we can make excellent jokes about looking at the slow-motion replays on the Snackometer.
Champions
| 2007 | John Kenny | Slow-cooked pork belly with spiced roast apple and crackling |
| 2008 | Susie Carter | Smoked trout and watercress tart |
| 2009 | Murray Grant | Strawberry soufflé with cream pannacotta and strawberry coulis |
| 2010 | Jonathon Davies | Seared masala cannon of spring lamb |

Trivia
The first series was produced by the appropriately-named Helen Cooke.
The first series also aired after a chat show hosted by Coronation Street's Antony Cotton in the same slot for five weeks, which unsurprisingly flopped.
