My Kitchen Rules UK

Michelin starred chef, Glynn Purnell, and ‘Queen of Irish cookery’ 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 go through to the MKR Mansion where, each day, a different Guest Judge will reveal a mystery ingredient from which the team has to create an outstanding main course, followed by a delicious dessert. With just 30 minutes to decide on their menu, this challenge will really show who’s got what it takes to get through to the MKR Headquarters and the final rounds of the competition. At the end of each of the three Mansion Round weeks, the two lowest-scoring teams will be eliminated. Mid-week Mansion Round contestants are friends Tosin & Geneviève, who have to face the Mystery Ingredient choice of Guest Judge, Allegra McEvedy. The pair are confronted with six live crabs which, they decide to turn into a Fragrant Thai Crab Curry with Shredded Salad & Sambal. Their dessert, inspired by their West African roots is African Mango & Passion Fruit Cheesecake with Mango Sorbet. Will their pain-staking preparation pay off and curry favour with the judges Allegra, Glynn & Rachel as well as the rival teams?
