A brand-new BBC cooking series is now accepting applications from home cooks across the UK and Northern Ireland who have a meaningful personal cooking goal they would love to achieve.
Produced for the BBC by Studio Ramsay Global, the production company founded by celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay, the upcoming series is looking for everyday people whose relationship with food could make a positive difference in their lives.
This is not simply about being an experienced cook. The production wants to hear from people with a personal story, challenge, or goal connected to food and cooking.
Perhaps you have always wanted to recreate a treasured family recipe but have never been able to get it quite right. Maybe you want to become more confident in the kitchen, learn a new technique, or develop a cooking skill ahead of an important moment in your life.
Whatever your goal may be, the new BBC series could give you the opportunity to work toward it while sharing the story behind why it matters to you.
Who Is the BBC Cooking Show Looking For?
The production is seeking home cooks with a genuine personal goal related to food. Applicants might want to:
- 🍳 Build more confidence in the kitchen
- 📖 Master a cherished family recipe
- 👩🍳 Learn a cooking technique or skill they have struggled with
- 🎉 Prepare for an important family or life event
- ❤️ Achieve a meaningful personal goal through food
You do not need to be a professional chef. The focus is on real people, personal stories, and cooking ambitions that have genuine significance in their lives.

- 📍 Must currently live in the UK or Northern Ireland
