Episode 6

BBC Two - Family Cooking Showdown, Series 2, Episode 6

Four foodie families cook it out for a place in the next round of the competition.

Competitive food show. Four new families are tasked with making comfort food for a tenner and 'breakfast with a twist' - the Bonehams, the Antonious, the Birds and the Fasayes.

The competitive food show that celebrates the families who make ordinary food extraordinary is back! Over three weeks, 16 family teams battle it out in the showdown studio kitchen. They face a series of challenges based around family cooking, and they are judged by presenters Angellica Bell, herself a Celebrity MasterChef winner and cookery book author, and Tommy Banks, Britain's youngest ever Michelin-starred chef. In each episode, the teams are given two tasks - one they have had time to practise at home, the other a complete surprise, testing their collective ability to work together and think on their feet. 

This time, the Bonehams from Weston-super-Mare take on the stylish Antonious from London, the competitive Bird family and the all-singing, all-dancing Fasayes from Kent. All four families enter the Showdown kitchen, totally unprepared for their first challenge - to make a £10 meal for a family of four with a surprise selection of ingredients. After cooking up 'breakfast with a twist' for their second task, they then face elimination, as only three families can make it through to next day's heat.
