BBC Two - Family Cooking Showdown, Series 2, Episode 10

The remaining families rustle up a family treat night meal.

Competitive food show. The remaining families rustle up a family treat night meal, hoping to impress the judges enough to secure a place in the finals.

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. 

It is the second of the play-offs. The four winning families from last week's heats now have to compete for just two places in the finals. First, there is another unprepared challenge to test their creativity in the kitchen - a surprise pick 'n' mix of ingredients that they all have to cook with. Then they rustle up a family treat night meal and hoping to impress the judges enough to secure a place in the finals.
