'Britain's Best Home Cook' Recommissioned For BBC One

News Image
KEO Films has recommissioned cooking competition 'Britain's Best Home Cook' for a second series on BBC One.

Featuring returning experts Mary Berry, Dan Doherty and Chris Bavin, the show follows the nation's best home cooks as they compete to be crowned the winner.

Presenter Claudia Winkleman will also return for the new series.

Commissioned by Charlotte Moore, Director BBC Content and David Brindley, Head of Commissioning, Popular Factual and Factual Entertainment, the eight-part series will see the cooks showcase recipes that have been passed down through generations and that they share with family and friends every day.

The new contestants will compete to follow in the footsteps of Oncology Research Biobank Technician, Pippa Middlehurst, who won the competition with a winning menu of Massaman curry with jasmine rice, grilled prawns and a Thai herb salad, followed by a Mary Berry inspired Mango and Raspberry cake. Her dishes inspired by her grandmother and grandfather who introduced her to Asian cuisine at an early age.

Charlotte Moore said: "It's a delicious recipe: one Mary Berry, add two judges, ten contestants and then Claudia Winkleman. And it's exciting to be growing a new cooking show on BBC One; the search for Britain's Best Home Cook continues."

David Brindley added: "This competition truly celebrated what home cooks are creating daily, up and down the country. What we saw in the last series were incredibly passionate cooks whose influences from their experiences and cultural backgrounds were the basis for a range of recipes that wowed our judges. We're delighted to be bringing another series back to BBC One."

The commissioning editor for 'Britain's Best Home Cook' is Catherine Catton.
