Ready Steady Cook is an Australian culinary competition program that has been nominated four times for the Logie Award. Originally broadcast on Network 10, the show is adapted from the BBC's original format, which is owned by Endemol (currently part of Banijay).

Original series

The series debuted in 2005, hosted by ex-chef Nick Stratford, and was initially scheduled on weekdays at 1:00pm.[1][2] In January 2006, Peter Everett, formerly of Nine Network, took over hosting duties as part of Ten’s updated daytime lineup, with the airtime moving to 2:00pm.[3]

Comedian Colin Lane became the host in March 2011,[4] and after nine seasons, the show aired its final new episode on 26 August 2013. Reruns continued to be broadcast until November 2014.[5][6]

Revived series

In October 2023, Network 10 revealed plans to bring back the series in 2024 with a new host, Miguel Maestre, airing on Friday evenings at 7:30pm. The reboot premiered on 8 March 2024. However, due to ratings below expectations, the timeslot was moved to Saturdays at 6:30pm starting from 1 June 2024, and later shifted again to Saturdays at 4:00pm beginning on 15 June 2024.

Overview

The competition features two teams—Capsicum and Tomato—each consisting of a professional chef paired with a member of the audience. They compete to prepare an entrée, main course, and dessert within a strict twenty-minute timeframe. The concluding segment showcases both chefs working together to create a dish under tight time restrictions.

In 2009, additional challenges were introduced that included surprise tasks alongside the standard gourmet and classic ingredient bags, further testing the chefs’ culinary abilities.
