Family Cooking Showdown

Series 1

Episode 7

Duration: 59 minutes

First broadcast: on BBC Two ScotlandLatest broadcast: on BBC Two England

Presented by Zoe Ball and Nadiya Hussain, this competitive food show celebrates the families who make ordinary food extraordinary. Sixteen 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.

In tonight's show, the Bellamores from south Wales go head to head with the Bellamy family from Dorset. Success in the Big Family Cooking Challenge kitchen relies on communication and teamwork, so which family are the most in sync and whose home-cooked dishes will leave the judges wanting more - will it be brother, sister and nephew the Bellamores, with their hearty, generous helpings, or mum and teenage daughter combo the Bellamys, with their family recipes influenced by their Persian heritage?
