Britain's
Best Dish is back&ldots;and it's bigger than ever!
The nationwide TV cooking
competition to find Britain's most delicious dish will be putting the
country's keenest amateur cooks to the test again, and it's going to
get seriously hot in the kitchen.
Norfolk pig farmer John Kenny won
last year's series with his slow roasted belly of pork and walked
away with a £10,000 cash prize, and the show's producers are now
holding auditions across the country in their hunt for Britain's
Best Dish 2008.
"Last year proved that
this country has a winning combination of fantastic local produce and
people passionate about food", said the show's series
producer Tom Gould. "Whether your dish is from a recipe
passed down through generations or you're pitching a modern and
unusual creation - we want to hear from you".
The idea of the series - to be
screened on ITV1 later this year - is to find the country's tastiest
home-grown recipes.
A panel of three judges - chefs
John Burton Race and Ed Baines and wine expert Jilly Goolden - will
be travelling the length and breadth of the country asking people to
pitch their dishes to them on camera. The amateur cooks with the most
potential will then be invited to London to take part in a "cook
off" live in the studio. The overall winner of the competition
will be in line for the £10,000 prize.
"We're after
mouth-watering recipes executed with skill and flair" said Gould.
"We want as many people as possible to come forward. It will be
a fun day. There'll be no cooking involved at this stage but we want
everyone to bring an example of their dish, or a photo of it or
something else that will make it stand out for the judges".
Anyone interested in taking
part should contact bestdish@itv.com
or call 09011 22 33 11. Please
also tell them where you found out about this year's contest.
Calls cost 25p from a BT
landline. Calls from other networks may be higher and mobiles will be
considerably more. Lines close on the 7th June 2008 at midday. ITV
cannot guarantee that all applicants will be called back. Terms and
conditions available at itv.com/terms
