The Big Family Cooking Showdown

From Saturday 12 September at 6:30PM, 2 seasons, 12 episodes

The Big Family Cooking Showdown presented by Zoe Ball and Nadiya Hussain celebrates the families who make ordinary food extraordinary. Join sixteen multi-generational family teams of passionate cooks as they battle it out for the chance to be crowned Britain’s best family of home cooks. Judging their efforts every step of the way are top Michelin-starred chef Giorgio Locatelli, and renowned cookery teacher Rosemary Shrager.

Originally streamed on YouTube in 2018 with nine episodes. Why is SBS Food showing only one third of it?

Cause each episode is only about 10 mins long on average, so pretty clear they will be re-edited for broadcast as 3 x 30 min specials I would think.

Just Jen

From Thursday 10 September at 7:30pm, 8 episodes

Feeling stuck? Jen shares some recipes for the kitchen and home to help you get moving - in more ways than one.

Has SBS Food been airing the original Iron Chef? Needs to be more of that.

Also, buy the rights back to Mystery Diners. That would be an awesome 1-2 combo. :wink: :stuck_out_tongue:

I was wondering what was I missing in my TV viewing in recent years.

Yes bring back Iron Chef accompanied by the “Allez Cuisine” by ‘Chairman Kaga’ who seems to love yellow bell peppers.

Gosh I hated that show :laughing:

It was magnificent. So bad it’s good. :wink:

Watching Iron Chef was a family tradition in my household when SBS aired the program on Saturday nights. Miss seeing and hearing this famous intro:

I used to watch it on SBS2 (before it became Viceland) when it was airing at around 4pm weekdays. Nowadays the show would be considered cheesy but the production values were excellent. Not sure why SBS stopped airing them in early-mid 2015. Maybe they lost the rights?

It was always considered cheesy.

Well someone needs to acquire the rights! :wink: :stuck_out_tongue:

It’s an amateur cooking competition in which teams of two cook and serve their dishes to paying customers, with the team that makes the most profit wins the round. The weekly winner will be given the chance to launch their own food brand in a stall in a hawker market.
The show debuted in UK in September last year. Not sure why SBS didn’t promote it?
