The wait for The Great Cookbook Challenge is finally over, with the show premiering on channel 4 tonight!
Jamie Oliver is on the hunt for the best undiscovered cookbook author in the UK with his brand new talent show. The cooks will be competing to win a book deal with Penguin Books and Penguin Michael Joseph.
Jamie revealed his reasoning for the prize, as he explained to Channel 4 that “Breaking into publishing is incredibly difficult – an impossible dream for so many amazing cooks out there – so I am just so excited to get out there and discover incredible new talent, new perspectives and new approaches to cooking and food”.
With the show premiere right around the corner, it’s only right that we get to know the contestants who will be on our screens later today. So, let’s find out more!
