Eight top chefs. Eight incredible celebrity cooks. One unmissable TV show, brought to you by M&S Food. From 3 August, tune in every Sunday at 6pm to ITV or STV to watch an amazing line-up of chef-and-celebrity cooking duos go head-to-head and put their kitchen skills to the test.

The home of M&S Recipes

All the incredible dishes created by the chefs and cooked by the celebs will be available on our home of recipes (once they've featured on the show of course – no spoilers here). Add everything to a shopping list you can take to our M&S Foodhall or add all the ingredients to your Ocado shopping trolley.

Try this chef-approved version of steak and chips by Michael Caines, as seen on Cooking with the Stars last year. Tender sirloin steaks are served with best-in-season new potatoes, sticky roasted cherry tomatoes and asparagus, finished with a zingy, herby chimichurri sauce.

Meet the hosts

TV presenter Emma Willis and comedian Tom Allen are back to host another sizzling series of Cooking With The Stars. Guiding the celebrities and their chef mentors through every triumph, slip-up and surprise along the way, the dynamic duo will once again bring their signature warmth and wit to the kitchen.

As Emma says, “It’s always a mix of nerves, excitement, and a few inevitable kitchen catastrophes – which makes for brilliant telly.”

Tom agrees: “Get ready for a delicious, slightly burnt and completely fabulous ride – that golden frying pan is waiting.”
