John's Boot Camp: Episode 1
Top chefs John Burton Race and Angela Hartnett have scoured the country to find the nation's worst cooks. The challenge now gets tougher as both chefs have to try to turn Britain's terrible cooks into Kitchen Heroes. Ultimately, John and Angela each have to find one protégé to represent them in the final challenge, cooking a first class meal for three of the nation's leading food critics. So their teaching skills will need to be exceptional. It was day one of John's boot camp and he was taking no prisoners - whoever showed the least promise would be kicked out of the kitchen. The focus was on cooking with poultry, but who'd be chickening out of the challenge? The schools health advisor who can't cook, the panel beater who lives on mushy pea sandwiches, or the Bristol holistic therapist who lets her 17 cats nibble on her diet of crisps, cheese and burnt offerings?
