Synopsis

Every cooking show ever, but this time all yoofed up, and with celebrities. Channel 4's press office tells us:

Celebrity Cooking School (w/t) (8X60’) tests whether any of our celeb cooks can be turned around when schooled by one of the best in the culinary business. All that most of the celebs will know about food to start with is how to order it, but working solo and matched in pairs, an intensive cookery crash course will have them sweating it out in the kitchen, as they hilariously tackle a series of complex cooking challenges well beyond their ability – leading to chaos in the kitchen.
They’ll need to master crucial cookery techniques and gain confidence if they’re to be crowned ‘Best in Class’ at the end of the series. But if they don’t impress, they’ll get an F for Fail and leave the school for good.

Not a lot to say here, except a) a tolerance for strong language is a must, b) Melvin is criminally underused, and c) Giorgio's appraisals are terse, frequently to the point of impotence. (Your dish is terrible. What are you supposed to do with this information?) And you know what, we'd rather he didn't shout at students who make mistakes - of course students are going to make mistakes, if they were perfect they wouldn't need to be in school.

If you can help us to expand this entry, please provide as much information as possible, using the feedback form below.
