S3 E1: Michelin starred chef Glynn Purnell and the Queen of Irish cooking Rachel Allen present a new series of My Kitchen Rules UK. For the next eight weeks, they will be judging 20 pairs of enterprising and inspired amateur cooks who open their own home restaurant for one ambitious night, in a bid to scoop the £10,000 prize and the right to say, ‘My Kitchen Rules.’ My Kitchen Rules UK is about real people with a real passion for food. Teams of two cook a three-course restaurant standard meal against the clock for their rival teams and the judges to experience and score. All 20 teams representing four regions of the UK are called to Kitchen Headquarters to meet the judges and size up their competitors. Once assembled, the judges explain the stakes – the lowest-scoring team from each region will be eliminated, so every team needs to hit the ground running. First, to cook are sisters and best friends Shabana and Farzana. Their restaurant theme is ‘Spice Street’. The girls are raring to go but will their menu of Spicy Fish Taco Basket with Lime & Mango Salad; Trio: Chicken & Lamb Shawarma Skewers with Avocado & Pomegranate Salad, Vegetable Fried Rice & Garlic Chilli Noodles; and Chocolate & Raspberry Gateaux Tower be a winning combination?
