Plate of Origin, 7pm, W
This new culinary competition bills itself as the ‘world cup of cooking.’ Set in Australia, 10 teams representing countries from around the world compete to win a $100,000 prize. As China takes on Australia, the two chefs in each team must cook a main and dessert for the judges (MasterChef Australia’s Matt Preston and Gary Mehigan, plus French chef Manu Feildel) and their fellow competitors. Everyone is very enthusiastic (apart from the French team who aren’t impressed by anything!) but the food looks great and the judges are good fun.
