Amateur cooks compete for the opportunity to go into business with distinguished chef and restaurateur Raymond Blanc.

The British spend over 70 million pounds on books about food each year. For chefs and restaurants glossy cook books can boost trade, so Raymond wants to challenge the couples to come up with cook books that promote their restaurant concepts.
