If you’re not familiar with Ready Steady Cook, or if you just need a quick refresher, it’s a cooking show where contestants are paired up with professional chefs, and go head to head in a cooking battle.

Things are slightly different this time around. The show will focus on reflecting how food and British cooking has evolved in the past decade, with themes like cooking on a budget to eating healthily.

In the first challenge, the contestants will come armed with their ingredients, all purchased within a £10 budget. From there, they’ll have 20 minutes to make an amazing dish.

The second challenge sees the contestants cooking time slashed in half to just 10 minutes, using ingredients from the audience.

The winner will be decided by an audience vote, using the iconic red tomato and green pepper voting cards.

This rebooted version of the show will also include things like wildcard ingredients and chef timeouts.

The new series will be filmed and produced in Glasgow.
