Jayde Adams hosts Channel 4's Crazy Delicious, a brand new culinary competition show in which renowned chefs and 'Gods of Food' Heston Blumenthal, Niklas Ekstedt and Carla Hall challenge the UK's most talented food lovers to produce remarkable meals that must impress with originality, visual flair and extraordinary flavours.
Each week, three cooks compete to be awarded the Gods' golden apple and the knowledge that they've impressed three of the world's greatest chefs after picking ingredients plucked and snipped from an enchanted garden on the world's first edible set, which contains edible blossom, chocolate soil and a drinkable babbling brook.
In this first episode, the first task is to elevate the humble strawberry to new heights, before pushing their imaginations to the limit to turn an everyday dish, the hot dog, into something extraordinary and every bite matters as one cook must be sent home before round three. The remaining two contestants will then have four hours to produce their unique take on a popular feast, which this week is a birthday spread fit for the Gods.
