Synopsis
Flippin' eck, would you believe it's yet another cooking game show?
Here celebrity chef Brian Turner, famed for being on telly just as much as Ainsley Harriot but not quite so annoying, challenges an ordinary MOTP to cook a dish using ingredients of their choice. The contestant gets to pick three judges from the audience who spend the show backstage.
Then comes the rub - Turner has to commit to a recipe using the same ingredients but without prior knowledge of what the contestant has already planned for the grub.
Both Turner and contestant then cook the dishes they've committed to using the same things. Once they're finished the impartial judges come back in and decide who is the winner based on presentation and taste marking out of 5 and 10 respectively for both dishes. The marks are added up and then it is revealed to the judges whose dish was which. If the player got the highest marks then they win something really nice, if not then they win some champers. Simple as that.
