Synopsis

Another daytime cookery competition from ITV. The novelties for the contestants here are that a) it's for teams of four rather than individuals, b) they're representing their counties.

Each team of four is helped and hindered by a celebrity chef mentor, with the celebs looking after a patch of the country. According to the pre-publicity, the inter-county rivalry added spice to the contest.
