Culinary Genius
Synopsis
Remember the Battle Rounds from The Voice UK? Two singers enter, one leaves? They're trying to get the same bearpit vibe in a kitchen.
Nine amateur cooks enter the studio, and the knives are out already. A test to chop ingredients, with the three weakest performers off the show.
Round two is a preparation challenge, ten minutes to do something with the Ingredient of the Day. The three worst preparations are also eliminated.
Three remain for the final cook-off, using the prepared ingredient and other food to create the best dish - and all in 25 minutes. Daily winners are rewarded with £1000.

Trivia
Each celebrity chef remained with the programme for five episodes, shown across a week. The stars were Gordon Ramsay (his company makes the show), Rosemary Shrager, Jean-Christophe Novelli, and Phil Vickery (Fern's husband).
Filmed in front of a studio audience, and in an octagonal set.
