Cookery competition series. Raymond Blanc hands the couples' front-of-house to David Moore to test while personally putting the chefs through a tough regime.

Amateur cooks compete for the opportunity to go into business with distinguished chef and restaurateur Raymond Blanc.

There is now everything to play for and Raymond has decided on a different way to test the couples. Instead of sending them out to a challenge, he puts them on their mettle by handing the couples' front-of-house to the forceful David Moore to test while personally putting the couples' chefs through a much tougher cooking regime than they expected. Then no-nonense Sarah Willingham steps in to test the couples' business skills. It is the exam from hell.

But that is only the first course. After that they have to serve up what they have learned to some of the most discerning palates and fastidious managers in the trade. It should be a breeze after weeks of running busy restaurants, but Raymond has raised the bar and someone isn't going to make it.
Raymond's decision is a tough one. One couple has come this far only to have their restaurant closed just when the final is in sight, but the others make it through to fight it out for the chance to join Raymond in a new business venture.
