BBC Two - Great British Menu, Series 15, Finals - Starter

Eight finalists compete to win the starter course. Cressida Cowell is the guest judge.

Eight finalists from across the UK compete to have their starter chosen for a banquet celebrating children’s literature. Children’s Laureate Cressida Cowell helps decide the winner.

It is national finals week, where the winning chefs from the regional heats compete for the honour of cooking at a banquet celebrating 150 years of brilliant British children’s literature. Each episode sees the eight rivals cook a different course, and with this being the last chance they have to impress the expert judges and a raft of guests from the world of British children’s literature, the pressure is on. 

In the first episode, the eight chefs battle to get their starter course to the banquet. They don’t disappoint with stunning dishes dedicated to a range of inspiring children’s books - everything from Peter Rabbit to Harry Potter. The rivals are cooking to impress food writer Matthew Fort, restaurateur Oliver Peyton, broadcaster and cook Andi Oliver and a guest judge - Children’s Laureate and author of the hugely successful How to Train Your Dragon series Cressida Cowell. Since the chefs last cooked their starters in the regional finals, they have had an opportunity to tweak the dishes with the judge’s feedback in mind but will they have done enough? With the stakes so high, and the finest chefs in the competition all vying for victory, which of the fierce rivals can secure the first place on the banquet menu?
