What’s the series about?

Much like Mary Berry’s previous show, Britain’s Best Home Cook will take ten of the country's best cooks and put them to the test over eight weeks of gruelling competition.

Cooks from all over the country will be serving up classic British dishes and feasts of all kinds. At the end of the contest one of the hopefuls will be crowned Britain’s best home cook.

Who is the host?

Strictly Come Dancing’s Claudia Winkleman will present the series when it launches on the BBC. Winkleman has been a staple on the BBC for years hosting shows like The One Show and Film 2015.

She told the BBC, “I’m over the moon to be a part of this show. Am slightly obsessed with Mary so will follow her around with my own moussaka for most of the filming. Apologies in advance.”

Who are the judges?

Returning to the BBC after stepping away from The Great British Bake Off is celebrity chef Mary Berry. Berry is the author of 75 cookery books and will serve as the lead judge on the show.

Joining Berry will be Dan Doherty, one of London’s most preeminent chefs. Doherty is the Chef Director at the famed London restaurant the Duck & Waffle.
