Rachel Khoo joins Great British Menu

Rachel Khoo (The Little Paris Kitchen, Zumbo’s Just Desserts) is joining BBC’s Great British Menu judging table.

She joins fellow judges Matthew Fort and Oliver Peyton plus a different guest each week.

Andi Oliver also reprises her role of presenter, after presenting the show’s festive special in December.

“I am delighted to be taking on the role of judge at the Great British Menu!” said Khoo. “We have some extraordinary chefs in the UK and the programme does a great job of showcasing that homegrown talent. I’m so proud to be part of the series and I can’t wait for viewers to see what’s in store.”

Series 16 of Great British Menu is set to be its most inventive yet. With 2021 marking the 30th anniversary of Sir Timothy Berners-Lee donating the world wide web to the world, as well as Helen Sharman becoming the first British astronaut to go into space, chefs from across the UK will showcase their culinary creativity through dishes celebrating British innovation.

Taking inspiration from early inventors in the world of computing, right through to modern-day medical pioneers, the chefs will have to prove their originality and technical flair to be in with the chance of serving their creations at the inimitable GBM banquet.

Great British Menu airs in Australia on Lifestyle FOOD.
