Presented by Zoe Ball and Nadiya Hussain, this competitive food show celebrates the families who make ordinary food extraordinary. Over the next few months, 16 multigenerational family teams of passionate cooks battle it out for the chance to be crowned the nation's best family of home cooks. Judging their efforts every step of the way are top Michelin-starred chef Giorgio Locatelli and renowned cookery teacher Rosemary Shrager. In each episode, two families face a series of challenges based on the realities of everyday meals, cooking up their favourite dishes both in the studio and in their own homes. At the end of each show, the judges decide which family make it through to the semi-finals.

The Hilliards from Essex go head to head with the Pigotts from Oxfordshire. Will the Pigott brothers and their bold, globally inspired flavours impress the judges or will the classic home cooking of the Hilliard sisters and their mum be what Rosemary and Giorgio are looking for? Teamwork is the key to success in the kitchen but will both families work together and keep their cool in the Big Family Cooking Showdown? Show less
