Celebrating two decades of culinary excellence, “Great British Menu” returns for its 20th anniversary. This week, the competition heats up in North East England and Yorkshire, where four chefs battle it out to impress veteran judge Michael O’Hare.
With the ultimate goal of creating a banquet honoring great Britons of the past at Blenheim Palace, the chefs must showcase their skills and creativity with innovative canapés, starters, and fish dishes. The pressure is on, and the kitchen is sure to be a cauldron of culinary ambition.
This year’s theme encourages the chefs to draw inspiration from British history, resulting in dishes that are as thought-provoking as they are delicious. Expect unexpected flavor combinations and artistic presentations that push the boundaries of gastronomic innovation.
One chef presents a suffragette tea party featuring intricate variations of onion, while another draws inspiration from Cornelia Sorabji, the first female advocate in India, with a surprising green banana curry. Will these historically inspired dishes earn the judges’ approval, or will they be relegated to the culinary dustbin of history?
Tune in to BBC Two, Tuesday, February 18, 2025, at 8:00 PM, to witness the culinary fireworks.
