Bake delicious cakes without the calories - Lorraine Pascale will show you how in her new book...
She’s usually the one whipping up something delicious, but tonight Lorraine Pascale will swap her apron for a judge’s clipboard as she takes on her latest challenge on Sky Living‘s brand new cooking competition, My Kitchen Rules.
With the help of fellow chef Jason Atherton, Lorraine will be casting a critical eye over a host of amateur cooks’ culinary efforts. Already a big hit in Australia, the show will pit couples from England, Ireland, Scotland and Wales against eachother in a series of cook-offs to see who can create the most mouth-watering menu, before battling it out in the My Kitchen Rules studio.
