The Secret Chef

In episode one, we meet self-confessed calamity cook Julie Green, who has decided to take matters into her own hands and show her nearest and dearest that she is not the kitchen catastrophe they think she is.

In episode four, we meet single dad, Steve. A loving father but a useless cook. After years of kitchen catastrophes he'd like to surprise his daughters and parents, and it is down to chef Nigel Haworth to show market trader Steve how it is done.
