Kitchen Showdown

About the show

Feisty chef Rosemary Shrager brings families who refuse to cook back into the kitchen for an intensive cookery course.

After just 48-hours, the families go head-to-head in a cordon bleu cook-off and have to face a panel of discerning judges. There's blood, sweat and tears as temperatures rise in the kitchen. Watch a short taster of what's coming up...

Each episode follows two very different families as they go back to basics at Rosemary's respected residential cookery school in the grounds of picturesque Swinton Park, North Yorkshire.

Rosemary is passionate about food and cooking and attempts to instil her beliefs that mealtimes are a vital part of family life into those involved in the show.

With Rosemary’s expert tutelage, the families will have just two days to learn some vital cookery skills. They then compete against one another in a cook-off, each producing a two-course meal to impress Rosemary and the panel of expert food judges.

The question is, can Rosemary turn families of kitchen-phobes into fantastic cooks? And, will they be inspired enough by their experience to use their new found skills at home? Not without a fight! Tune in to see the real-life kitchen sink drama...
