ITV1’s nationwide cooking competition to find the UK’s most mouth-watering dish is targeting the East in its search for Britain’s Best Dish.
Last year saw Jonathon Davies from Leeds scoop the £10,000 first prize with a sumptuous dish of Seared Masala Spring Lamb. The East region already boasts two former winners of the competition, back in 2007 and 2009 – can someone else follow this fine tradition and make it a hat-trick of wins?
The show’s producers are hoping to attract lots of local culinary talent to compete for the £10,000 cash prize.
“There’s a fantastic tradition of wonderful home cooking in the region, and with two former winners coming from the area, we’re expecting to find some really talented cooks when we visit in January for the auditions” said Series Producer Rory Dalziel.
“Whether it’s a Suffolk Fish Pie, Jugged Hare or East Anglian Custard Tart, we’re confident of a very high standard, as well as a few exciting surprises.”
The idea of the series – to be screened on ITV1 next Spring – is to find the tastiest starter, main course and dessert cooked in the UK, with one of those courses going on to win the overall title of Britain’s Best Dish 2011, plus the £10,000 first prize.
The production team will be coming to the East in January when they will invite short-listed applicants to come along and pitch their signature dish. The amateur cooks with the most potential will then be invited to London to take part in a live studio “cook off.”
“We are looking for delicious homemade dishes cooked by people who have a real passion about food, as well as the strong belief that they can produce Britain’s Best Dish” said Dalziel. “There’ll be no cooking involved at this stage but we want everyone to bring either a sample of their dish, a photo of it or something else that will make it stand out.”
Auditions are set, so anyone who would like to be considered for the auditions should contact the team via email bestdish@itv.com or simply call 09011 22 33 11.

Applications for the East will not be considered after 12.00 on Friday 28 January 2011 but any calls made after this time will still be charged until the lines close on Friday 4th February 2011 at 17.00.
