Every recipe tells a story and every family has one – a recipe that tugs at your heart strings, makes you laugh, brings back memories and sums up all that’s great about food – its ability to delight our senses, bring people together and spread joy and happiness.
That’s what Food Glorious Food is all about.
Food Glorious Food is a competition for budding cooks – and the prize couldn’t be more mouth-watering – the winner gets to see their dish on the shelves of Marks & Spencer stores all over the UK as well as receiving a cash prize of £20,000.
The creators have scoured the country in search of a very special dish that everyone in Britain will, for the first time ever, be able to buy and eat in stores nationwide.
In each of the regional episodes Carol Vorderman tours the country in search of the great and the good plus she finds out what – or who – inspired them to enter. Was it a proud parent, a pushy partner or a delighted dinner guest?
Dishes prepared, each contestant has to face one of the Food Glorious Food judges: globe-trotting gastronome Loyd Grossman, food writer and Historian Tom Parker Bowles, self-taught baker extrordinaire Stacie Stewart and WI top brass Anne Harrison. Each judge will hand out rosettes to the dishes they feel most delight the senses and capture the imagination, but before the day is out they must each choose their dish of the day.
The show recently aired it’s pilot episode and the next programme features our very own, Sir Benjamin Slade.
Sir Ben will be making a family recipe, “Aunt Freda’s Maunsel Pudding”

“Aunt Freda was a chocoholic” Sir Ben tells us.
“She invented this chocolatey version of Apple crumble and although it is a family recipe, it had never been written down so I had to re-create it (with a bit of trial and error!). It brings back childhood memories and I like to serve it to family and friends who always wolf it down!”
