The team of culinary experts is in Malvern this week, on the lookout for Britain's best home cooking. This episode features cooks from Wales and the Midlands out to impress the panel - Loyd Grossman, Tom Parker-Bowles, Anne Harrison, and Stacie Stewart. Recipes include sausages in milk, classic Welsh cawl, Staffordshire oat cakes, and Pimms summer jelly. The overall winner will receive a prize of 20,000 pounds, and see their very own dish on the shelves of Marks and Spencer.
This week, home cooks from across Devon are out in force - from one of the oldest pasty crimpers in the South West - to father and son crab fisherman hoping to impress WI top brass Anne Harrison. There are a bounty of culinary delights on show, as well as the not-so-hot dishes such as a pub landlord's stir fry that fails to impress globetrotting gastronome Loyd Grossman.
Carol Vorderman, Tom Parker Bowles, Anne Harrison, Stacie Stewart and guest judge Andi Oliver bring the competition to the North West of England, where the range of characters behind the recipes seems as interesting as the food itself. A town crier has received inspiration from beyond the grave in preparing his cream horns. The maker of a sticky toffee pudding has proof that it has been made to a truly original recipe. An inspiring home maker has delivered a cake to a stranger every day for a year, and an 81-year-old amateur dramatics enthusiast has reinvented the classic cheesecake. All are in pursuit of a rosette and the chance to compete for that ultimate culinary prize - £20,000 and a place on the shelves of Marks and Spencer.
The quest for a home-cooked dish that will grace the shelves of Marks and Spencer and net its creator £20,000 comes to Brighton. Cooks from across the south east descend on the seaside resort hoping to wow the experts - food writer Tom Parker Bowles, WI doyenne Anne Harrison, baker Stacie Stewart and the unique Loyd Grossman. Brighton's flamboyant reputation is reflected in the people taking part and their recipes. A drag queen makes profiteroles, a retro-loving housewife has her own take on a Mrs Beeton blancmange, and a glamorous builder prepares an unusual chicken dish - with cornflakes.
The search for a home-cooked dish that will grace the shelves of Marks and Spencer and net its creator £20,000 focuses on home cooks from Yorkshire and the North East. One of the nation's favourite dishes is curry and one contestant puts their own spin on a classic curry recipe. There is also an unusual take on the classic Yorkshire pudding, but a young postmaster's twist on the traditional trifle fails to impress judge Tom Parker-Bowles. Joining him today are food writer Andi Oliver, the WI's Anne Harrison and baker Stacie Stewart. Northern pride is at stake but only the best can win rosettes.
