Ready Steady Cook (UK version)

Ready Steady Cook is a four-time Logie Award-nominated Australian cookery competition show that aired on Network Ten from 2005 until 2013. Repeats continued to air daily until early 2014. It is based on the original Ready Steady Cook series broadcast by the BBC. The format is owned by Endemol.[1]

The show debuted in 2005, where it was hosted by former chef Nick Stratford.[2] It aired weekdays at 1:00 pm. Former Nine Network personality Peter Everett took over the hosting job in January 2006 to coincide with Ten's new daytime lineup. From 2006, it has aired at 2:00 pm.

In March 2011, it was announced that Colin Lane replaced Everett from June 2011.

In October 2023, it was announced Network 10 would be reviving the series in 2024, with new host Miguel Maestre, which are intended to air on Friday nights.[3]

Overview

Two teams (Capsicum and Tomato), consisting each of a professional chef and an audience member compete against each other, both trying to create the best entrée, meal and dessert in a 20-minute time limit.[4] The final segment sees both opposing chefs teaming up to prepare a dish in a strict time limit.

New challenges were introduced in 2009. As well as the regular gourmet and classic bags, the chefs are given surprise new challenges that push their cooking skills to the limit.
