My Kitchen Rules UK

Michelin starred chef, Glynn Purnell, and cooking legend Rachel Allen present a new series of My Kitchen Rules UK. They will be judging 20 pairs of enterprising and inspired amateur cooks from all over the UK who open their own home restaurant for one ambitious night, in a bid to scoop the £10,000 prize and the right to say, ‘My Kitchen Rules.’ My Kitchen Rules UK is about real people with a real passion for food. Each week, five teams of two from the North, South, Midlands/Wales & Scotland cook a three-course restaurant standard meal against the clock for their rival teams and the judges to critique and score. The strongest teams from each region will go through to the MKR Mansion and finally to the MKR Headquarters where their culinary skills will be put to the test by some of the UK’s best-known chefs and culinary gurus. Who has the flair, finesse, and the fine dining menu to set them apart from the rest? Midway through the Midlands and Wales region, it’s the turn of microbrewery owner Ray and his friend and colleague Simon whose three-course menu, unsurprisingly features beer in every course. In five hours they have to shop, prep and cook a meal that will beat off the competition and opt for a starter of Penclawd Cockle and Laverbread Gratin; a main of Steak & Grey Trees Stout Pie with a Perl Las topping; and finally a Chocolate & Malt Porter Brownie with Fresh Cream & a Strawberry Mint Salsa.
