The Julia Child Challenge

Eight home cooks and Julia Child superfans enter her kitchen start the competition. They take inspiration from her life-changing meal to make their own.

The cooks' first dish is inspired by coq au vin, a favourite of Julia Child's husband, Paul. Then they create a dish inspired by their own great love.

The competing home cooks celebrate Julia Child's time in France by making a soufflé by hand. Then, they must make a two-course French meal.

The cooks tackle challenges inspired by Julia Child's travels during World War II. They cook with a mother sauce and make an international dish.

The competitors learn about Julia Child's pioneering show about French cuisine and tackle French omelette and dessert challenges inspired by it.

The final three cooks face their last challenge: preparing a four-course meal of Julia's classics including duck a la orange and boeuf bourguignon.
