Hosted by Claudia Winkleman, and judged by Mary Berry, Dan Doherty and Chris Bavin, BBC One’s Britain’s Best Home Cook puts the nation’s best home cooks to the test, and celebrates the delicious food being cooked in households all over the UK. The contestants will be asked to make their own version of dishes that ‘define modern British home cooking’ with an emphasis on individual flair. The judges will be looking for dishes that are special takes on well-loved classics, and that define a new benchmark of excellence. The challenges push the contestants to prove their technical abilities, resourcefulness and creativity as they fight for the title of Britain’s Best Cook. The series features three episodes, the first of which airs on Thursday 3rd of May 2018 at 8pm on BBC One, and will be available afterwards on iPlayer. The official companion cookbook, Britain’s Best Home Cook (BBC Books, 2018), with a foreword by Claudia Winkleman and recipes by Jordan Bourke is out now.
