Ready, Steady, Cook

Two chefs and members of the audience put their best efforts into producing, in only 20 minutes, an interesting meal using ingredients valued at no more than £5.00. The ingredients are supplied by the audience and not the chefs to make things a little more challenging. At the end of the show the audience vote on which chef they think deserves to win.

An entertaining show which is popular with housewives and students. Interest in this kind of show has spread across to the atlantic and there is now an American spin off called "Ready Set Cook".
