Channel 4 Commissions Beat The Chef
Twofour and Motion Content Group have secured a 20 x 30' series with Channel 4 for a new daytime format of Beat the Chef.
The cookery gameshow will be presented by Andi Oliver.
Beat the Chef sees amateur cooks go head to head against a professional chef in fast-paced cook offs to win a £10,000 cash prize. The four house chefs to beat are Michelin starred Mark Sargeant, Celebrity chef Clodagh Mckenna, award winning chef James Tanner and Roux Scholar Frederick Forster.
Each round sees passionate home cooks battling to win over members of a tasting jury who will blind taste the dishes. It’s a gastronomic gamble - if they cook well, they’ll climb up the money ladder, but lose, and they walk away with nothing.
Dan Adamson, Director of Programmes, Twofour Group, said: "We're really excited that this format marries the jeopardy of a cooking competition with the drama of a money ladder game show. Beat the Chef will pit passionate home cooks against professional chefs in an exciting head to head with big money on the line."
