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. In the last cook-off of the Mansion Round’s first week, an Australian couple, Geoff and Debra who run a community bakery in Edinburgh must face the mystery ingredient challenge from Guest Judge, Rachel Khoo. How will they cope with Rachel’s choice of three different beetroot varieties and will their creative approach result in a main to impress her, Glynn and Rachel and the other contestants? Everything is riding on their final menu of: Tricolour Beetroot Salad with Soused Mackerel followed by Struffoli with Candied Beetroot. And at the end of the night, who will be the two teams to leave the competition?
