Britain’s Best Dish is to hosted on ITV during the summer.
They have five auditions around the country (21st April - Manchester, 29th April - Cardiff, 5th May - Norwich, 12th May - Birmingham, 19th May - London) where participants will be asked to pitch their signature dish to a panel of chefs and explain how it will be cooked and presented. Each dish has to be prepared and cooked in under an hour and must be an original recipe for either a starter, main course or a dessert.
Creativity, culinary knowledge and originality will be the main criteria for winning.
Twenty-four people from each region will then presented their dishes, live, at a cook-off in the ITV studios. There are cash prizes for winners of each section and an overall top prize of £10,000.

Please call the team on 0870 600 2552 or email [email protected] to find out more!
regarding the above competition - my son applied after a request from the organisers.
1. he was told at the interview he could go no further even though his dish was fantastic because he was a chef! why ask him to apply in the first place
2. why was there a half page spread in the local paper featuring a chef from the local store who was applying - why did she get through
is the whole programme a total fix - an answer to this and other e mails would be appreciated
where do yo u have to go and what is the address
Najma - phone number and email are in the post
Taylor - an interest state of affairs; I doubt it is fixed but in light of those TV phone in comps you never know!
Once again Scotland gets left out. Why is it called Britains favourite dish when only England and Wales are included. We have the best produce in the uk and also some of the best chefs. No scotland No Northern Ireland typical another reason to sever all ties bring on the referendum. Shamefull
i do not think a curry comes under britains best dish anyone can make acurry we eat it in britain but it is not british
is there any way , i can get some of the recipe’s, especialy the sweets?
I love the program, it is adictive. We British have some wonderful old fashioned recipies, it is such a shame that younger people do not learn to cook like we did. I adore cooking and baking, I could cook for Britain.
excellent show, fantastic receipes,
can we have a copy, which site.
Please how can I find the recipes for this wonderful competition. Have tried the web site but cannot find them.
We decided to try cooking the Bakewell tart ~ Best dish, week 5, our favourite dessert/cake. The Pastry…..nothing was said to bind the fat and flour (i.e. egg or water) and the quantities were totally beyond belief for a 25cm flan tin and shortcrust pastry usually has fat 50% of the flour weight. The receipe states: 900g flour ~ 335g fat! which will make over a kilo of very bland, hard and unpalatable pastry, leaving three quarters unused and thrown in the bin. Further, the filling asks for 3 teaspoons of almond oil??!! we were only able to find almond essence and used half a teaspoon which was just about right. The filling was only enough for a 21cm flan dish not 25cm. In conclusion, a most disappointing recipe and hard to believe that the panel thought so highly of the result.

I am also looking for recipes from this competition, especially the winning recipes from last night’s competitiion. Where can I find them?
Fascinating programme. Watched every one. However, as it was supposed to be all down to taste, why was it a ‘phone-in vote?! Having said that, I’m sure the best dish won.
britains best!!!!!! should be called something else as it did not include the whole of the british isle - unless someone knows something I don’t?
like so many people who watched this great program,where can i get the recipes from!!!.
would love to have them
kind regards
mandy.
Who & what dish won the competition, as it was one of the few we missed?
Hi,
I agree curry is not a british dish, and should not have been entered into it. We eat caurry yes but it is not British.
brilliant didnt miss a single episode but unfortunately cannot find the winning recipe on this website
Not sure why anyone is looking on this site for the recipes - it just reported the news and is not associated with the program. I’ll see if I can track down the recipes though…

If the competion is for the best British Dish then that is what it You the judges were appointed for not Your own ppersonnel preference.Play the Game.THANKS
I realy like britons best dish so I was
wondering if I could take part in britons best dish.
Love Hannah.
Recipes for curry and tart please. Why so coy?
RECIPES PLEASE.
WHERE ARE THE RECIPES????
All the recipes for Britains Best Dish can be found on :- http://www.itv.com/bestdish
I think it is a disgrace that Northern Ireland is not represented in Britains Best Dish as we have a lot of top chefs and a lot of great cooks who could very well be competition. Maybe that is why we are not asked to take part as England would not win - oh they probably would as all judges are English
I was looking for the latest recipe after watching tv this evening 3rd August 2010 but cannot find it. Where is this evenings Best Dish too?????????????
I cannot find the recipe for the red cabbage on Tuesdays 3rd August programme of Britans Best Dish
There seem to be more foreign than British dishes in the present series. Surely Britain’s Best Dish should be just that - British.
Where can i find recipes shown on ITV on August 27ty 2010?
As already requested by many other viewers, where can i get the receipies. I really would like to have a go at making the merangue tower featured today.
