Great British Menu 2021 episode 15 - North East Judging

Great British Menu 2021 episode 15 – North East Judging: The two highest scoring chefs from the North East, Yorkshire and Humber region go head to head and cook their six-course menus again. But will they take on board their veteran’s advice as they serve the panel of judges and one of Britain’s eminent designers?


 

 



The chefs need to impress the inscrutable judges – food writer Matthew Fort, restaurateur Oliver Peyton and broadcaster and food creative Rachel Khoo – as well as a guest judge. This week it’s Sophie Conran, renowned designer and innovator from a famous British dynasty. What will she make of the dishes celebrating British invention and innovation, including an egg dish inspired by the birth of IVF and an opulent fish dish heralding the invention of the first lifeboat?

Along with Masterchef, Great British Menu is a cooking show that has been running so long it is basically a national institution by now. However, even after all these years, Great British Menu manages to keep fresh with new ingredients for season 16 – former judge Andi Oliver is now presenter, with cook, writer and broadcaster Rachel Khoo taking her place on the judging panel.

It’s a very formidable line-up – so can the chefs impress with a menu based on innovation to celebrate thirty years of the world wide web?
