About the show
Daily Cooks Challenge is not just about the food, it’s about the competition!
Each week host Antony Worrall Thompson is joined by two of the UK’s best chefs who'll battle it out to win the hearts and taste buds of a celebrity guest.
The challenges include cooking against the clock, working within a budget and creating an impressive meal with a set ingredient. The celebrity chooses the winning meal in each round. As the week progresses, both chefs will be battling to see who will emerge the victorious after their 5-day culinary duel.
The Five Minute Challenge (one point) Each chef is given two food-related clues about the mystery celebrity guest. It’s their task to whip up an impressive meal within the set time limit. Can they cope with the pressure?
Beat the Budget (one point) The cooks must create a delicious meal with the least expense. During the first series the chefs were given a generous £5 budget but the purse strings are even tighter in this second series.
The Star Food Challenge (two points) The chefs prepare a dish with the celeb's favourite ingredient in secret while the star relaxes with a glass of bubbly away from the studio. After trying the meals blindfolded, the celebrity chooses a winner.
Masterclass
If that’s not enough to satisfy your appetite, AWT will also be serving up some top tips while the competition hots up. In a break between challenges, he shows our celebrity guest how to prepare their dream dish.
